Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis Museum threatened with closure

Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis (1846-1919), one of the founding fathers of Dutch socialism, and an important figure in the international socialist, anarchist and anti-militarist movement of the late 19th-early 20th century, is probably the only Dutch socialist to whom a museum is devoted. This small but very nice museum in Heerenveen, Friesland, now is threatened with closure due to budget cuts. The museum has launched an online petition, in Dutch, but with the translation tools of nowadays you will surely be able to understand it.
