Mick van Wely wrote that his Dutch grandfather worked as an optician for the resistance in Leiden and took photos for forged documents. According to him, his father grew up with a strong aversion to Germans. When, as a five-year-old, he received an apple from a German soldier, he thanked him with a curse word for Germans, Van Wely said. His Hungarian mother, he said, grew up under communism, which he described as just as bad as fascism. Van Wely wrote that he had been raised at home with love for and respect for freedom. This, he said, explained why he sometimes reacted angrily when he saw that the carefully built Western lead and achievements, which had long been taken for granted, were coming under heavy pressure and were slowly being rolled back. #vrijheid #geschiedenis #verzet (translated)
