As 60 years ago, the interest for VJ-Day in Holland is pretty low. Not much in the press, other than an article about the Netherlands now "politically and morally" accepting 17 August 1945 as Indonesia's Independence Day. Until now, it was formally 27 December 1949, after a bloody battle over Indonesia's sovereignty.

I particularly commemorate my grandmother, who died after the war from enfeeblement due to her stay in the Japanese internment camp.
