Here we go again

Amsterdam especially

has kept strong ties

with the liberators

How strong was shown

on Liberation Day 1980...

when the population of the

capital honored them again

It was like the 1945

"May Days" again

Only the soldiers were now

Amsterdam was thanking with

its cheers for the Canadians

all the allies who ended five

years of war and occupation

These were my heroes

the liberators of 1945

When they came back in 1980

it was scary

It didn't look like my memory

anymore

Could you be a bit more

explicit?

Mark, shut up

What I see takes me back

to 1980

which also takes me back

to 1945

It is a memory of memories

It's the essence of what

I mean in this choreography

and I don't see it, I...

Am I make myself clear?

Ok, we start from second times

Pull harder

I've done a lot of rowing

Eels won't bite you, Sissy

The Wrath of God

will smite the Godless

they will be exiled

to the outermost darkness

there shall be a walling

and a gnashing of teeth

So dear Congregation

it is written

Lord God, let your light

shine over this world

the light of Liberation

Breathe deeply

It must reach your lungs

It's really healthy

And Abraham made haste to

the tent of Sara, and sayeth

Make haste. Take the

three bushels of grain

I'm going home

Take the little boat

Henk will help you

Hold it firm

Come down, Jeroen

We need your help

Still some way to go

There it is

Here it comes

Come and clean it up

here, take it

And he sayeth, Jonathan

And bring David, in order that

the King could kill David

And then?

Jan

Jeroen

Haidie

Perhaps they read

another Bible in Amsterdam

You do it, go ahead

It tickles

In the bucket, put it in

There you are

Jan

A friend of

Jeroers from Amsterdam

You can't use it here anyhow

Yes, I know

Found it?

Old Pronk says your Dad

is the best eel-fisher

in the whole area

Have you ever seen her naked

or in her knickers?

Bondien, I mean

If there were no Jerries

I'd still be in Amsterdam

They should hang them all

You mustrt hate the Germans

Your mustrt harbour hatred

that's what Dad says

Hatred is a sin

or something like that

I want to go home

Amsterdam is that way

Take the little boat

You think you're funny?

Shall we escape?

One night?

Jeroen

Keep still

Come on young man

Come back

Go over there

I don't allowed you come here
