Metamorfoze, the national programme for the preservation of Dutch paper heritage, will completely subsidize the digitization of the archives of the Dutch Diamond Workers Union (ANDB). This will make a part of the Dutch trade union history widely accessible, but the history of the ANDB is also an important episode in the narrative of Jewish Amsterdam, as the rank and file of the Diamond Workers Union consisted largely of Jewish socialists.
1965 marked a turning point in Indonesian history. A failed putsch on 1 October was followed swiftly by a violent backlash against the Left. About half a million were killed, perhaps another million and a half detained without trial. The violence paved the way for the military regime of General Suharto, the New Order. Millions of survivors and their relatives lost their civil rights. The nation was changed forever.
For half a century, serious discussion of this shocking violence has been taboo within Indonesia. However, the taboo has begun to lift in recent years.
