Songs of Liberation in the Netherlands
The Transatlantic Soundtrack of Freedom
When the Allied Forces arrived in the Netherlands after Operation Market Garden, the country’s long-awaited liberation from National Socialist occupation finally came in the summer of 1945. With freedom reclaimed, a wave of joy and hope swept through the nation, finding its most powerful expression in the stirring liberation songs that resonated across the land. These songs, an evocative transatlantic soundtrack of freedom, captured the spirit of the time through music, lyrics, and dance, celebrating the euphoria of a nation reborn.
Songs of Liberation in the Netherlands: The Transatlantic Soundtrack of Freedom invites readers on an extraordinary journey into this transformative period. Frank Mehring, along with an international team of writers, musicians, and curators, brings to life the vibrant music that accompanied liberation by drawing from the remarkable Hugo Keesing collection at the Freedom Museum in Groesbeek – featuring over 300 rare sheet songs. Now rediscovered, these songs offer a profound connection to the past, inviting us to reimagine the emotional power of music in shaping cultural memory.
