The Truus Wijsmuller Archives

Now that we have realized the documentary Truus’ Children, we are more convinced than ever of the importance of George Santayana’s message: ‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ This is one of the main reasons we have initiated this project, completely related to the movie Truus’ Children. We are excited to share that we have started to work on The Truus Wijsmuller Archives. These Archives will become a source of information for everyone (students, teachers, historians, researchers) interested in the story of Truus Wijsmuller and all the work she was involved in before, during and even after WWII. We will work on editing all of the 23 interviews we have held with Truus’ Children and some of the people who knew her or have studied Truus Wijsmuller’s work. The Archives will also give us the opportunity to incorporate all the documents, pictures, letters and eyewitness reports we have gathered during our 3,5 years of research in so many libraries and archives around the world, while working on the documentary Truus’ Children.

We are currently looking for ways to finance The Truus Wijsmuller Archives. We are approaching foundations and other institutions that can help us out, and we will eventually also set up a crowdfunding to enable people who support the project to contribute financially. Do you know of foundations that might be interested in helping, or of people that would like to donate on a personal basis, please get in touch with us via info@stichtingogenopen.nl
