Abstract: „During and immediately after the First World War the Belgian government developed plans to annex parts of the Netherlands after the war, such as the province of Limburg. How did industrialists in the capital Maastricht respond to these Belgium goals? In this article, I explore the perspectives of an industrialist, a state detective and an economist in this matter. The industrialist was a fierce opponent of annexation, while the state detective was convinced that annexionists, those who were in favour of annexation, should mainly be found among major industrialists. The economist, on the other hand, did not rule out the possibility that some of Maastricht’s traders and industrialists would prefer a connection with Belgium. How did they come to these conclusions and to what extent did their considerations and other sources provide an answer to the research question of this article? Taking both gossip and facts into account, we may conclude that indeed there could have been traders and industrialists who supported the Belgian aspirations and preferred to join Belgium. However, the general claim that, in Maastricht especially, major industrialists were in favour of annexation lacks any factual evidence.“

„In this contribution, we discuss how the East Belgian authors Hannes Anderer, Freddy Derwahl and Leo Wintgens represent history, borders and multilingualism in their novels. These contemporary authors have understood that coming to terms with the past is an important aspect in developing a genuine East Belgian collective identity. Furthermore, the multiple borders (with Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) and the co-existence of several languages in this region have become constitutive of collective self-understanding, also with regard to the construction of a region-specific cultural memory. Finally, we show the narrative strategies used in the novels Unterwegs zu Melusine (2006), Bosch in Belgien (2006) and Wege aus Sümpfen. Roman einer Grenzlandschaft Teil I (2001) and Teil II (2006) in order to bring to bear the relation between minority and majority culture by recurring to imagology.“

Inhaltstext: „Het leven van Jaap Bommer verandert op slag wanneer hij zijn geboortedorp in Noord-Holland verlaat om zich als jonge douanier te vestigen in de Achterhoek. Na zijn benoeming tot "grenskommies' verhuist hij met zijn vrouw Anna naar Elten, dat na de annexatie op 23 april 1949 tot Nederlands grondgebied behoort. Op het nieuwe adres ontmoet Jaap de Duitse Helga, een schoonheid die zijn hoofd op hol brengt. Twee liefdes tussen twee landen, een verhaal dat speelt in de tijd van wederopbouw, grenscorrecties, politionele acties, de watersnoodramp en de bouw van de Muur. Na de befaamde Boternacht, waarin Elten weer Duits werd, werd van de gelegenheid gebruikgemaakt om enorme hoeveelheden boter te smokkelen. Bommer keert terug naar de streek van herkomst, maar de "Duitse jaren' zullen hem blijven achtervolgen door het geheim dat hij bij zich draagt.“

„The inter-war period in Eupen-Malmedy remains a sensitive arena in which the experiences and sensibilities of its inhabitants have barely been broached by historians. The controversial milestones of the interwar period in Eupen-Malmedy have been covered over with the palimpsest of what the late Tony Judt has referred to elsewhere as ‘selective forgetting’ where communities as well as individuals shield certain episodes or events of the past from intrusion by historians1. The German historian Freddy Cremer describes this phenomenon as akin to ‘amnesia as therapy’. The period following the Nazi invasion and annexation of the former Germany districts in 1940 and their later liberation conspired to further compound an already complex situation. Since then the historical narrative has been shrouded beneath a veil of silence. This article aims in some small way to pull back this veil so that in Cremer’s words “the past may not be left untouched”.“
