Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van Else Hanöver, een Maastrichtse jonge vrouw in oorlogstijd. Het is een bewerking van een deel van haar levensverhaal, dat ze in 2000 schreef voor haar kinderen, op basis van haar nauwkeurig bijgehouden dagboeken. Het verhaal speelt zich af tegen de achtergrond van de Duitse bezetting van Maastricht en de bevrijding door het US Army op 13 en 14 september 1944. Dat landsgrenzen en familiebanden niet altijd samenvallen, blijkt uit het verhaal over haar Duitse oma, die noodgedwongen bij hen intrekt nadat haar woning tijdens het bombardement op Aken (11 april 1944) werd verwoest. Else emigreerde in 1947 naar de Verenigde Staten, woonde in Florida, waar ze op 22 oktober 2013 overleed.

Ter gelegenheid van 65 jaar bevrijding werd door de toenmalige stichting Akkers van Margraten een oral history project gestart met als doel verhalen van omwonenden van de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten vast te leggen. Toen gezocht werd naar ooggetuigen van de aanleg van de begraafplaats kwam het contact met Else tot stand. In 1944/1945 beantwoorde Else – samen met collega Yosta van Wijk honderden brieven van nabestaanden van soldaten uit de V.S. In die periode werd het systeem van adoptie van graven opgezet.

Haar vriendschap met de eerste Amerikaanse bevrijder die ze op 13 september 1944 ontmoette, was goed voor een verrassing op het einde van de eerste editie van dit boek. Deze tweede editie – 15 jaar later – eindigt eveneens met een verrassing.

Wim Hillenaar, de huidige burgemeester van Maastricht, schreef het voorwoord voor deze tweede herziene druk.


ENGLISH

This book tells the story of life during World War II for Else Hanöver, a young woman from Maastricht. In 2000, at the request of her children, Else wrote down her life story using diaries she had meticulously kept during the war years. This book is based on this life story and focuses on the wartime period. It is set against the background of the German occupation of the city of Maastricht and its liberation by the US Army on the 13th and 14th September 1944. Else writes about her German grandmother who, by necessity, moved in with the family after her house in Aachen had been destroyed during the bombardment on 11th April 1944. It seems from Else’s comments that families and borders are not always compatible. Else emigrated to the United States and lived in Florida, where she passed away on 22nd October 2013. 

In recognition of 65 years after the liberation, the then Foundation for Fields of Margraten set up an oral history project with the aim of writing up the experiences of locals living near the American Cemetery in Margraten. In their search for eyewitnesses to the construction of the cemetery, they came across Else Hanöver. In the years 1944 and 1945 she, together with her colleague Yosta van Wijk, had answered hundreds of letters from families of fallen US soldiers. During this time, plans were being made for the adoption of the war graves. In the first edition of the book, the story of Else’s friendship with the first American soldier she met on 13th September 1944 provided the reader with a surprising ending. Fifteen years later, the second edition does likewise.

Wim Hillenaar, Mayor of Maastricht has written the ›foreword for the second edition.

Perfect case for my daughter’s iPad
Color: Purple Pink
bought this case for my daughter. The fit is perfect — all the buttons and camera line up exactly and it snaps on securely. The case feels sturdy, protective, and durable but not too heavy, so she can still carry it comfortably. The stand feature is convenient. The design is also super cute — Luna loves it Overall, great quality for the price. I would definitely buy it again

Very versatile!
Color: Colorful Pink
I got this iPad case for myself and my two year-old daughter as we both use this iPad. This case has definitely held up very well. I love the material because it’s nonslip so it’s easy for my two-year-old to hold I also love the movable and adjustable prop on the back that also doubles as a handle. There is two spots to put your Apple Pencil, so that’s very neat. It is a little bit bulky, but it is very protective and I think that is a good trade-off. There is also a cover for the charging port to prevent dust from getting in there or any spills. At first I was a little bit weary about it having a built-in screen protector, but it’s very clear and does not interfere with using the screen at all, so it’s actually a nice touch. I really love this thing and think it is worth it!
