• The first book ever published in the Netherlands about the participation of Black soldiers in the US Liberation Army during WWII. • Memories of an African American Veteran WWII – a former gravedigger- about the development of a huge ABMC cemetery in the South of the Netherlands • Memories of an African-American veteran of his service in the segregated US Army during WWII When he returned to the Netherlands in 2009, decades after World War II, Jefferson Wiggins realized that no one he met knew about the segregated US Army during the war, nor did they know about the contribution of Black American soldiers to the liberation of the Netherlands. They were not mentioned anywhere in Dutch history books or in archives. Together with oral historian Mieke Kirkels, Wiggins sat down to record his memories. Wiggins passed away in 2013, and his widow, Janice Wiggins-Paterson, continued the project in his memory. With newly discovered archival material, and richly illustrated, this book gives a lively account of an undocumented story of WWII, Black American, and Dutch military history.

Recenzijos

While history is often a clash of great powers that spreads worldwide, it is equally a struggle of individuals caught in the maelstrom of time. The life story of Jefferson Wiggins, captured here in an engaging and insightful manner, clearly portrays how an African American soldier faces the completely unanticipated consequences of his military recruitment, resulting in hardship at a military cemetery on the other side of the Atlantic. -- prof. dr. Kees Ribbens, Erasmus University Rotterdam

"By reading the story of one man, you read as well not only the tale of an important stage in American history, but also of a gripping episode in the history of the village of Margraten. Mieke Kirkels has blended it all into one, powerful narrative." -- Jaap Cohen, Historian
