Cold reception after WWII
The dominant image of the May days of 1945 is one of hopping crowds, waving liberators, chocolate and cigarettes. But it was not a party for everyone. The few Jewish Dutch people who survived the occupation and persecution did not have to count on extra help or compassion on return. The Netherlands had to be rebuilt and looking back was not time: back to the old as soon as possible. In conversations with Jewish Holocaust survivors, a picture is sketched of the cold reception and the difficult time that they received in the Netherlands after the camps and the hiding. Writer Jessica Durlacher talks about the return of her father, author Gerhard Durlacher. And also writer and historian Michal Citroen talks about her family and the state’s policy after the liberation.
Ballet and venomous dialogues
Étoile is the new series of the makers of Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The first season Is about two ballet companies in New York and Paris. The series breathes the hyper -moving, exciting atmosphere of the classic at its best moments Fame (1980). Luke Kirby and Gideon Glick (both out Mrs. MaizeL) and Kelly Bishop and Yanic Truesdale (from Gilmore Girls) know what to do with the subtle venomous undertone of the dialogues, and newcomers such as Ivan du Pontavice and Taïs Vinolo also make an impression, certainly because they are not an actor from home, but ballet dancer. But sometimes it suddenly fails. As exciting as the rehearsals scenes are, the rather statically filmed performances are as long -winded; The romances bloom as tasty as the conflicts are served, as cowardly.
Iconic game in a new look
The Fantasy Roll Game Oblivion Crushed gamers in 2006 with the unbridled ambition of maker Bethesda. The imperial province of Cyrodiil offered a huge, free -dimensional world full of stories and possibilities – an example that many games would later pursue. To everyone’s surprise, Bethesda suddenly released an impressively polished version of this classic last week. The pixels are tightened, the menus have been modernized, and the characters now behave more intelligently. Beyond The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Exactly what it was in 2006: a huge deep game full of possibilities that hints for a world full of history and human lives. Although the modernization does make it possible to see exactly how little of those human lives we really get to see.
Commemoration on the radio
Presenter Sander van Hoorn talks on 4 May with guests, including Ina Bitter and Anna van Zoest. Bitter was born in 1930 and was there when the liberation party was celebrated on 7 May 1945 on Dam Square in Amsterdam. She still goes to schools to tell about the war and its consequences. Van Zoest is the director of the Atlantic Commission, which has been offering a social debate for NATO, the Transatlantic Band and International Security for seventy years. That debate in this time, in which the international order is under pressure, is more important than ever. Naturally, the memorial meeting in the Nieuwe Kerk and the ceremony on Dam Square is shifted. Reporter Jozephine Trey is on site. Furthermore, reporter is Beau Heimensen in Borger. There they thought for years that they were freed by the Canadians, but it turned out to be Poland.
