Description:
Stronger through struggle was the motto that Queen Wilhelmina gave to Rotterdam, so battered by the Second World War. But those three words also characterize her own person and life. Wilhelmina's strength lay in her fighting spirit and in parrying the setbacks she encountered on her path. She grew in struggle. In the fortieth year of her death, Cees Fasseur returns one more time to the queen he has portrayed so compellingly in his two-part biography. After that publication, new letters surfaced, he received hundreds of responses and anecdotes that portray Wilhelmina sharply. Fasseur sketches her character, her attitude towards the persecution of the Jews, her relationship with Prince Hendrik and the special bond with the Hague police commissioner François van 't Sant.
Anyone who enjoyed the biography will once again be surprised and carried away by Cees Fasseur's compelling portrait Wilhelmina - Stronger through Struggle.
