| description | Combining an exhibition and a written work, this study reveals the experiences of Buitenkamper children from the Netherlands East Indies, not incarcerated during the Japanese Occupation (1942-1945), who also endured the violent start of the Indonesian Revolution for Independence (1945-1946).
