As part of the oral history project, interviews were held with elderly Moluccans about their experiences during the Second World War and its aftermath. Not only Moluccans who currently live in The Netherlands are interviewed, but also respondents in Indonesia. They often have different experiences and a different perspective on the war years and the time after than those who came to the Netherlands around 1951. By interviewing both groups a bridge is built between the historiography of the war in the Netherlands and in the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia. Respondents from various layers of the population and from different religious backgrounds are interviewed. Some interviews are in Dutch, others in Indonesian or a Malay dialect.
