In this newsletter we reported earlier on the founding of Restaurant Havendorp in Vlissingen. From July 1954 to November 1962, Havendorp in Vlissingen was an Ambonese camp. The old name lives on in the new restaurant of Dicky Wattimena, housed in the former station restaurant of Vlissingen railway station (newsletter Nov. 2018). We are glad to announce that on the afternoon of Sunday 1 December the Indisch Herinneringscentrum is holding the Indo Salon – Tangible Memories, "What is your Poesaka?". The afternoon is presented by Simone Berger and Armando Ello, known for their book 'De lange reis van de Poesaka – Indische tastbare herinneringen'. With not only Indo stories, but Moluccan memories and objects as well.
Nel Lekatompessy performs an extract from her show 'Biskoewit Verkade'. With the theme of Tangible Memories, stories are shared through objects linked to special (family) memories. Everyone is warmly invited to bring along a POESAKA, a family heirloom or a personal object that came over by boat or plane from the Dutch East Indies or Indonesia in the post-war years. What does that object tell us about the family past and about identity?
