Goedemorgen! Today on @TheRestHistory, the 1st of a 2 part special on AMSTERDAM.
Recorded on location: how the city emerged out of water & mud; the miracle that put it on the map; the impact on it of the Reformation; it gives birth to modern capitalism.

Op deze dag in 1942 dook Anne Frank en haar gezin onder. Zij zouden ruim twee jaar ondergedoken zitten in het Achterhuis. In augustus 1944 werd hun onderduikadres door de Duitsers ontdekt. In het vroege voorjaar van 1945 overleed Anne Frank in Bergen-Belsen #opdatwijnietvergeten

Today 105 years ago the law was signed for the world's largest waterworks: the 'Zuiderzeewerken'. The Enclosing Dike connected North Holland with Frisia and turned the salty 'Zuiderzee' into an enormous fresh water reservoir. The reclaimed land is now the 12th Provence: Flevoland

Still intrigued by the existence of the diary of Margot Frank.
23 May 2023
Anne Frank photographed with her sister Margot at the beach in Zandvoort, Netherlands, in 1940.
Margot was the elder sister of Anne, and according to Anne’s diary, she also had kept a diary of her own, but no trace of it has ever been found. She died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

You've probably heard of this guy called Erasmus before — but who was he? Well, this quote sums him up:
"I believe in listening to both sides with openness. I love liberty. I will not and cannot serve any faction."
Here is the story of history's greatest educator...

When Vincent van Gogh started painting he didn't use bright colours — so what changed?
It's a story about the importance of what we consume and the people we spend time with...

Op deze dag in 2001 werd het eerste huwelijk tussen partners van het gelijke geslacht gesloten door Job Cohen. Nederland was 't eerste land ter wereld dat een burgerlijk huwelijk tussen twee partners van hetzelfde geslacht mogelijk maakte. Kerkelijke inzegeningen konden al langer

Exactly 170 years ago today Vincent van Gogh was born.
But he didn't just paint sunflowers and starry skies. Van Gogh made over 2,000 works of art in less than ten years - one every 36 hours.
So here are some of his less famous masterpieces:
