Hartelijk dank voor het uploaden van deze belangrijke film. Fries Film en Audio Archief geeft een blik in de wereld van voor de oorlog. Het is gewoon eng om te weten dat binnen minder dan drie jaar de meeste mensen in deze film zouden niet meer leven- zij zouden worden vermoord. Het is heel eng om te denken dat wij staan nu op hetzelfde punt. Ook voor ons wordt een duistere AGENDA voorbereid. Niet in een villa aan de Wannsee, maar in een luxe ressort in Davos. De strekking is echter hetzelfde. Zo ook de type aanwezigen in beide conferenties. Een gewaarschuwd mens telt voor twee.
I came across an article about how this film was put away by the bride and groom for safe keeping. Their children never allowed to open the suitcase it and other cherished items were kept. The children obeyed wishes of their parents until after their deaths. Perhaps, footage was too painful to and memories kept in the suitcase were too painful for either of them to revisit? Looks as though that wedding was a lavish occasion and people were happy before war tore everyone and everything apart. What a bittersweet piece of history for that family.
@Nicole Czrnecki and @Donna Wheeler. The people in the wedding had lived in the cozy wonderful city of Leeuwarden. I assum that the mentality of Leeuwarden's inhabitants had not changed much from that time till now: Pleasent, friendly and reliable people. It is well known that the Frisian underground had started already in 1942 to help Jews in need by providing them a hiding place. It was an order of the Frisian Protestant churches. It's a pity that Frisian Jews had not tried to contact the churches for help (something that happened in Enschede). Many Jews (especially babys, children and youths) from all over the Netherlands could find a hiding place in Friesland, but not the Frisian Jews themselves. They had obeyed the orders of the Jewish Council in Amsterdam. Their adage was: No Ressistance, is Ressistance.
Awesome film. I am glad you got to see it. I wish my family had some like this but photos are just as good.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear that family pictures (despite the repeated denials and/or resentment of quite a few my relatives) came to life (and many of them resented and still resent that I figured out that we're Jews, and B'nei Anusim for that matter). I teared up when I saw the footage because I saw in the Dwinger-Boers couple and their loved ones the faces of whom could've been my closer relatives if I didn't know that they're a whole different family among Israel.
Amazing!
Deze arme mensen wisten toen echt niet , wat hun te wachten stond een paar jaar later zo in en in triest
I am taking my family to Leeuwarden and Freisland on vacation. We're renting a canal boat to explore Friesland. I doubt that we will come across any Jews although any artefacts that we can see in Friesland or friendly faces will be wonderful. Any suggestions welcome :)
Dear mr Levin, I suppose your visit to Friesland is still planned and that is why I suggest you to visit the neighbouring province of Groningen too. Here you will find more about historical Jewish life, to start with a - former - large community in the capital, still visible in an impressing synagoge. In a handful of villages smaller kehillim existed of traders and shopkeepers, fairly integrated in local communities. Small former synagoges and graveyards witness their historical existence. The large village of Winsum with its synagoge-museum has to be considered in this respect as a highlight.
@Alan Levin. Your idea to visit Friesland on vacation is great. Friesland is very special among other provinces of the Netherlands: it is still typical Dutch as it was many years ago. There is a lot of nature , lot of water, windmills, lot of grazing cows, sheep and horses. And above all: NICE PEOPLE and a sense of freedom. Many people are trying by boat to sail the route of the 11 cities; a distance of 210 km. along all the cities and towns of Friesland. Normally a taugh ice skating compatition. Others are sailing at the Sneek and Lemmer lakes. The number of Frisian Jews is very close to zero. But there are quite many Frisians with Jewish roots. Most of them are not aware of that fact and don't even know it. They are the offsprings of Jewish babys, children and youths who had stayed with the people who gave them shelter during WWII. After the war nobody came to collect them. There was no one left of their families. The younger children and babys, of that time, don't even know when they were born, where, and who were their parents. Most of the girls had stayed in their villages, married to a local boy, had children and grand children.
Never forget
What struck me starting at 2.24 in the video, is how poverty stricken the onlookers appear, especially the children, in stark contrast to the wedding guests that appear almost like royalty in compassion.
Not being anti-Jewish, just an observation that`s all.
Whatever this family did for a living they seemed quite well off.
My paternal grandmother was Dutch Jewish, she escaped to Britain just prior to WW2 and all her family died in the camps.
She told me most of the Jews in Holland prior to WW2 were living in poverty and this family must have been an exception to how most Jews were living at the time.
It is a wedding, people do dress well for the occasion, no matter if they are poor or doing well. So obviously they look better dressed than the onlookers.
@Perce Blue. There was, at that time, a lot of poverty in Leeuwarden, and the whole of Friesland. There is a silent poverty even now. The Jews on the film were rich or well to do. Otherwise they could not afford themselves hiring a camera man, of having a camera themselves. Though, there were in Leeuwarden and other places in Friesland also poor Jews. Frisians are proud people who are arranging everything for themselves. They ask no outsider for help. At the other hand, they are not tolerating anyone to interfere in their affairs. When the Dutch government is trying to play monkey business, and have a new bill that doesn't suit there needs - especially agrarian laws - the farmers are coming on their tractors to the parliament; followed by more tractors from the rest of the Netherlands. The rest of the Frisian population stand behind them. They are like the Three Mosketeers: One for All, and All for One.
I live here
Jewish culture and people are beautiful.
Geen muziek toegevoegd dat is jammer dat maakt het filmpje leuker
aviationhornet serieus leuker ?
Met muziek zal deze film hetzelfde zijn als Saturday Night Fever. De makers wouden de film laten zoals het is.
Leuker? Goeie god. Leuker. Hoe krijg je het je toetsenbord uit, in dit kader.

I would be furious to learn that respecting my parents wishes meant I was forever denied my past. A lousy anonymous film is their heritage now. Sadly, the parents did away with the children's heritage, like the Nazis did away with the Jews and others. Nice that the selfish parents hid away their painful memories ONLY to create NEW painful memories for their children, who were denied their past. No one has the right to deny you your past, your family, just because it upsets them. Who knows who these people are in the film. Thanks for nothing ma and pa.
@Red Eyed 2012. The parents were too traumatized and reactions on traumas do not always follow logic. I've heard from a young Frisian taxi driver a story on that subject, when there was something on Israel on the taxi radio. The driver started to laugh. I asked for the reason he was laughing. He answered, when you hear my story, you'll laugh too. His grandmother from mothers side, was a bit of a weardo woman. She had prohibited her children to speak Dutch at home; only Frisian ...becouse Dutch is there language- now ours! But when she spoke Frisian, it was obvious it was not her mothers tongue. She spoke with an accent that belonged to one of the big cities. When she had to speak Dutch, she spoke it like the people from the coast line. She had done everything she could, not to leave her village. There was no going on vacation, or just a trip somewhere. When something had to be arranged, she sent her husband, and later on one of her (many) children. No one could understand her strange behavior ...untill shorty before her death. One day she told her daughters, who were on a visit with their children, that she is not a Frisian. She came to mem and heit (mom and dad) as a Jewish teenage girl. After the war, there was nowhere for her to go, because no one of her family had survived. Shortly after the war she married grandfather, whom she already knew during the war. She got children and grand children. One of her daughters had asked: Why handn't you tell us all this before? Her answer was: I wanted to protect you!
This is such a respectless, filthy comment I am going to report you for it. You have absolutely no idea how deep, how immensely heavy holocaust trauma is.
