Remember Us: American Sacrifice, Dutch Freedom, and a Forever Promise Forged in World War II

In the shadow of World War II, the Netherlands faced the loss of freedom and the profound silence of those who fought for its return. This era, marked by invasion and occupation, left an indelible mark on ordinary lives.

Robert Edsel, author of the New York Times Best Sellers The Monuments Men, brings to light a story of sacrifice and enduring gratitude in Remember Us: American Sacrifice, Dutch Freedom, and a Forever Promise Forged in World War II. This narrative delves into the lives of twelve individuals, from a young woman falling in love with an American soldier to a sergeant grappling with the grim realities of war. Drawing on personal letters and diaries, the book explores the profound cost of freedom and the extraordinary measures taken to express thanks.

Remember Us offers a poignant reminder of universal grief, the boundless nature of humanity, and the deep-seated desire to be remembered. It is a testament to the enduring power of gratitude and the unbreakable bonds formed during a time of immense conflict, a Promise Forged in the crucible of World War.
