With articles on themes from a colonial context: such as the extraordinary collection of the Roman Catholic Orphanage in Semarang (RK Weeshuis Semarang, Java, Indonesia), which offers a wealth of information to researchers and members of the Indonesian heritage community; and whose inventory has become available online; in addition, there are contributions on the complicated role of chaplains and army pastors in the colonial war in Indonesia; and the surprising position of Surinamese students in Nijmegen during the 1970s around Surinamese independence.
But there is also a focus on the social face of Catholicism: on the emancipation of Catholic workers in two Brabant villages and on the care for guest workers in Utrecht in the 1960s and later. We also highlight the photo collection of the top Catholic photographer Louis van Paridon and describe a piece of the KDC's own history in an article on the multifaceted and important role played by the Friends of the KDC foundation (in Dutch: Vrienden van het KDC).
Please note: Impressie is only avaiable in Dutch.
