Knight of the queen. Honored by her as knight of Orange Nassau, brought to me by
the major of Landsmeer, my village, with the words
“given in respect for your way
of living, your way of dwelling and what you give the community and your artist
greatness, giving the world a spirit old as the elements is a new view on the
life after the war”.
Those words have for me a
special meaning, because I spent four years from 1941 to 1945 in the war in
Berlin by the Russians and out that comes the heavy side of my work and when you
are war veteran is to get a medal to be part of the house of Orange Nassau as
knight means more as it means to the after-war generations.I know deep in my
heart what it means as the royal queen honored you. It brings quietness in your
soul. Your life for the community is blessed.
