In the Netherlands, a small group of biracial citizens have entered their eighth decade of life that had often been puzzling and difficult, but who offer a unique insight into the history of race relations in America.
Though their African American fathers had brought liberation from Nazi tyranny at the end of WWII, they were in a totally segregated American military derived from a racially divided American society.
Decades later, some of their children could finally learn about a father’s identity and the life he had led after the war.
Just one would be able to find an embrace in his arms, and just one would arrive at her father’s American grave after 73 years. But they could now understand their own Dutch lives in the context of their fathers’ lives in America.
