The Netherlands colonized and governed the Dutch East Indies for more than three hundred years. The motherland’s sovereignty over this Indonesian archipelago was abruptly and horrifically turned upside down when the Japanese invaded the islands in World War II. The Dutch-Indonesian population (Indos) went from ruling class to outcast almost overnight.
TWO TO BE REMEMBERED is the biography of one Indo couple, steeped in Dutch-Indonesian heritage, who suffered the terrible hardships of the war and the subsequent Indonesian uprising. It is a story of miraculous survival and the eventual emigration to a safe and prosperous life in America.
