Carlos Rocha, member of the Central Committee of the liberation movement MPLA (Movimento Popular de Libertaçâo de Angola), talks about the liberation struggle in Angola. The interview took place against the backdrop of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal (April 25, 1974), for which the colonial wars that country waged in Angola, among others, were the immediate cause.
Issues discussed include the possible solution of the colonial problem by the new rulers in Portugal; the situation in the already liberated areas in Angola; the relationship between the MPLA and the other Angolan liberation movements, including the FNLA (for a time called UPA); the relationship with the independence movements Frelimo in Mozambique and PAIGC in Guinea-Bissau; the similarity with the (anti-imperialist) struggles in Indo-China. Angola gained its official independence on Nov. 11, 1975. The interview was conducted in French. However, the transcript is available in Dutch translation at Sound and Vision.

Het project Herinneringen aan Indië is gestart in 2012. Guido Abuys (conservator Westerbork, tevens zoon van één van de geïnterviewden) startte het project als een vrijwilligersproject. Aanleiding voor het project was het werk van Esmeralda Böhm en Guido Abuys in Duitsland in opdracht van de NOS/NTS, waar ze op zoek waren naar mensen die de ‘bersiap’ periode hebben meegemaakt. Er waren weinig verhalen beschikbaar. Dit motiveerde Guido Abuys het interviewproject Herinneringen aan Indië op te zetten. In dit project werden levensverhalen verzameld. Doelstelling was om zo veel mogelijk verhalen te verzamelen van de eerste generatie ‘Indische Nederlanders’ voor hun overlijden.

Dorien Theuns made a documentary about Depok, Java, in 2013. During those months in Indonesia, she met many Indonesian people who spoke Dutch and shared stories with her. She realized that these were the last generation in Indonesia who experienced the former Dutch East Indies from this bi-cultural perspective and wanted to capture their stories for a wider audience. Martin Everaert of Utrecht University – linguist, born in Surabaya wanted to research the Dutch language in Indonesia. They decided to start an interview project together, the result of which can be seen in the website www.indo-in-indonesie.com.
The website features 60 excerpts with a length between 1 – 5 minutes. The interviews went through the life of the interviewee chronologically. The main questions were: What is your (family) background? How were you raised and educated? What influence did Dutch colonial rule, World War II/Japanese occupation, Indonesian freedom struggle and independence have on your life? What made you stay in Indonesia? How did your life change after independence; how do you look back on your life?
