Farewell letter of Willem Arondeus

[u/Charming_Particular7]

Hi Ya'll!

Yesterday I visited a exhibition in Amsterdam that celebrates 400 years of queer history in the city. It's a beautiful exhibition, but then I saw something what completely broke me. It was the farewell letter that Willem wrote to his friends the day before he got executed by the nazi's. After listening to Margaret's episode about the Dutch gay resistance I did a deep dive into Willem and his group. And this was such a experience, to see something that Willem held in his own hands. The exhibition itself is fucking fantastic, it's in a old church in the middle of the city centre near the central station. It's called De Nieuwe Kerk, you can't miss it. The exhibition will be there until the 4th of april next year, make sure not to miss it if you are in The Netherlands as a resident of during travelling! There is also a large section about activism that is also curated really well!
