Morgen is het 4 mei...
Voor @45meiamsterdam vertel ik het verhaal over vervolgde Sinti muzikanten en over hoe een persoon het verschil kan maken, soms tussen leven en dood.

@RianneOosterom Wow wat goed dat er meer aandacht komt voor de vrouwen in het (Trouw) verzet. Ik heb @verhalenschat onderzoek gedaan naar een school waar een behoorlijke link is met de Trouw-groep. Ik weet heel zeker ook een aantal vrouwen... ik ga je mailen!

@Dirk_van_Miert @AmstelodamumNL @PCvanUlzen @JudithBrouwer4 Ik heb voor @verhalenschat onderzoek gedaan naar de geschiedenis van de Adm. de Ruyterschool; (een van) de eerste bijzondere school in Amsterdam West, opgericht in 1924

Inspired by @Dean_R_Lomax I combined history with prehistory and went fossil hunting... in Amsterdam!
The streets (and some houses) are literally paved with fossils, like these circles called brachiopods

[Angelique HistoryExplorer @AngievdP]

The quest continued...
Found a really cool spiral shaped fossil and fossilized coral!

@UCL_Holocaust @HolocaustMuseum I've read the impressive story from Ceija Stojka, his sister, it triggered my first of many speeches about these forgotten victims. It's so valuable that there's slowly more understanding about their experiences now

[Angelique HistoryExplorer @AngievdP]

@Dean_R_Lomax Yes! And there's is so much more to find... I'll share some later :)

[Angelique HistoryExplorer @AngievdP]

@historiansmag Ooh I have some ideas about that!

[Angelique HistoryExplorer @AngievdP]

@StuartHumphryes This is indeed the son of famous Amsterdam photographer Jacob Olie sr. Junior was born in 1879 and moved to Utrecht. In 1912 he lived at Wilhelminapark... Presumably that is where these pictures are taken

But now I'm ready to discover more, so let's go!
