Fascinating deep dive into New Amsterdam's 140-year history from City Beautiful Blog. Did you know the first Jewish settlers arrived in 1654 after being rescued from Spanish pirates? Or that Harlem was named after the Dutch city Haarlem?
From Verrazano's 1524 sighting through Peter Stuyvesant's stern rule to the peaceful 1664 English takeover, this timeline reveals the Dutch colonial foundations of modern NYC.

The folks at #NewspapersDotCom have sent out a not-so-subtle message on social media.
Dictators hate to be ignored-- especially on their special days.
Remember to avoid posting about his parade on social media. Try not to interact with people who post about it. Keep the focus (and the algorithm) on things that will take the air out of his balloon, like #NoKingsDay #protests -- and pictures of #dogs .

my latest bio for #WikipediaAsianMonth ; I was focusing on internees at the Dutch camp at Boven Digoel but I realized the guy who founded and built the camp did not have an article. Laurens Theodorus "Theo" Becking (1887–1945); he was quite a piece of work, a fascist leader in the NSB in the 1930s and interned by the Dutch in a camp in Surinam during WWII, where he died.

As I leafed through an exhibition catalogue today, I came across two pictures from this series. I had never seen them before. They are fascinating documents from the period when European ideas of "race" were beginning to take shape.

A bit of history - turns out the cute statue opposite the Parliament buildings was a real person, and at the age of 12 he ran the place. #DutchHistory

Similar to a Dutch internment camp in Surinam I wrote this #Wikipedia article for a couple years ago. Likewise there Germans were interned because of their citizenship (basically, those who happened to be nearby when the war broke out; sailors, missionaries, random people). It included some known Nazi sympathizers but also non-Nazis or anti-Nazis. I don't believe it had any German-Jewish internees in that case.

10 mei 1932. Het Wilhelmus werd officieel het volkslied van Nederland. Meestal wordt alleen het 1e couplet gezongen, gevolgd door het 6e couplet. Het Wilhelmus is niet ons eerste officiële volkslied. Daarvoor had Nederland ‘Wien Neêrlands bloed’ als nationale hymne. #geschiedenis #nederland #volkslied #wilhelmus #dutchhistory
