Liberation Documents
Below are two liberation documents related to Dordrecht during wartime. The first is a rarely seen document titled “Met het eten ging het wel… maar oh boy die moffen” (“Food was alright… but oh boy those Krauts”). It is a printed illustration that clearly depicts the sentiments towards the Germans shortly after the liberation. The image also shows the welcoming of the English. In the top left corner of the illustration, it states: “Dordrecht 1945”.
The second document is also a printed publication. It is a remembrance of the war from 1940-1945, written in rhyme or song form. There is a Dutch version along with an English translation. The document is published by J.H. van Beijnen from Dordrecht (Groenmarkt 2).
