It is a moving ceremony.

Hi. That is very interesting. I was born and raised in The Netherlands and we were nazi occupied as you will know. Our Liberation and Remembrance is May 5th. Thanks for explaining about your tradition. I love to learn about the different traditions. Not sure if you are new to ViewBug but if so, "welcome".
Kind regards. Wilma. :)
Kind regards. Wilma. :)
