Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van Else Hanöver, een Maastrichtse jonge vrouw in oorlogstijd. Het is een bewerking van een deel van haar levensverhaal, dat ze in 2000 schreef voor haar kinderen, op basis van haar nauwkeurig bijgehouden dagboeken. Het verhaal speelt zich af tegen de achtergrond van de Duitse bezetting van Maastricht en de bevrijding door het US Army op 13 en 14 september 1944. Dat landsgrenzen en familiebanden niet altijd samenvallen, blijkt uit het verhaal over haar Duitse oma, die noodgedwongen bij hen intrekt nadat haar woning tijdens het bombardement op Aken (11 april 1944) werd verwoest. Else emigreerde in 1947 naar de Verenigde Staten, woonde in Florida, waar ze op 22 oktober 2013 overleed.

Ter gelegenheid van 65 jaar bevrijding werd door de toenmalige stichting Akkers van Margraten een oral history project gestart met als doel verhalen van omwonenden van de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten vast te leggen. Toen gezocht werd naar ooggetuigen van de aanleg van de begraafplaats kwam het contact met Else tot stand. In 1944/1945 beantwoorde Else – samen met collega Yosta van Wijk honderden brieven van nabestaanden van soldaten uit de V.S. In die periode werd het systeem van adoptie van graven opgezet.

Haar vriendschap met de eerste Amerikaanse bevrijder die ze op 13 september 1944 ontmoette, was goed voor een verrassing op het einde van de eerste editie van dit boek. Deze tweede editie – 15 jaar later – eindigt eveneens met een verrassing.

Wim Hillenaar, de huidige burgemeester van Maastricht, schreef het voorwoord voor deze tweede herziene druk.


ENGLISH

This book tells the story of life during World War II for Else Hanöver, a young woman from Maastricht. In 2000, at the request of her children, Else wrote down her life story using diaries she had meticulously kept during the war years. This book is based on this life story and focuses on the wartime period. It is set against the background of the German occupation of the city of Maastricht and its liberation by the US Army on the 13th and 14th September 1944. Else writes about her German grandmother who, by necessity, moved in with the family after her house in Aachen had been destroyed during the bombardment on 11th April 1944. It seems from Else’s comments that families and borders are not always compatible. Else emigrated to the United States and lived in Florida, where she passed away on 22nd October 2013. 

In recognition of 65 years after the liberation, the then Foundation for Fields of Margraten set up an oral history project with the aim of writing up the experiences of locals living near the American Cemetery in Margraten. In their search for eyewitnesses to the construction of the cemetery, they came across Else Hanöver. In the years 1944 and 1945 she, together with her colleague Yosta van Wijk, had answered hundreds of letters from families of fallen US soldiers. During this time, plans were being made for the adoption of the war graves. In the first edition of the book, the story of Else’s friendship with the first American soldier she met on 13th September 1944 provided the reader with a surprising ending. Fifteen years later, the second edition does likewise.

Wim Hillenaar, Mayor of Maastricht has written the ›foreword for the second edition.

Incredible to play with, very fluid.
Style: 2026 Curved 24" 180Hz
This monitor is excellent for the price it has. The 180Hz is very noticeable, everything looks super fluid in games and the curved screen really helps you immerse yourself more in what you are doing. The colors look very bright and bright. I like that the design is thin and looks very modern on the desktop. It is a perfect choice if you want to make the leap to a high-frequency gamer monitor without spending too much.

Incredibly smooth gameplay with a stunning display
Size: 32"
The Samsung 32" Odyssey G65B has been an awesome upgrade to my gaming setup. The QHD resolution looks sharp and detailed, and the 240Hz refresh rate makes everything feel unbelievably smooth. Fast-paced games look fluid with no noticeable blur or tearing. The curved screen adds to the immersion, especially on a 32-inch display. It pulls you into the game without feeling gimmicky. Colors are vibrant, contrast is excellent, and the screen gets plenty bright for both gaming and everyday use. Build quality feels premium, and the monitor looks great on the desk. If you’re serious about gaming and want high refresh rates with a large, immersive display, this monitor is absolutely worth it. It delivers exactly what it promises and then some.

A top-tier gaming monitor that exceeds expectations in every way!
Size: 27"
The SAMSUNG 27" Odyssey G65B is hands down one of the best gaming monitors I’ve ever owned. If there were an option to give more than 5 stars, this product would absolutely earn 7! From its stunning QHD resolution to the ultra-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, this monitor has redefined my gaming experience. First, let’s talk about the display quality. The QHD resolution combined with HDR 600 creates incredibly vibrant and lifelike visuals. Colors are rich, blacks are deep, and the contrast is outstanding. Whether I’m playing fast-paced shooters or exploring immersive RPG worlds, the level of detail and clarity is second to none. The 1000R curve pulls you into the action, making gameplay more immersive and natural for your field of vision. After hours of gaming, I experienced less eye strain compared to flat monitors, which is a huge plus. The 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time (GTG) make this monitor a dream for competitive gaming. The responsiveness is flawless, and I noticed an immediate improvement in how fluid gameplay feels. There’s no ghosting, screen tearing, or input lag, even in the most intense gaming sessions. It’s perfect for FPS games like Call of Duty or Valorant, where every millisecond counts. One of the standout features is the built-in Gaming Hub. I was able to stream games directly without even needing my PC or console turned on—a convenience I didn’t realize I needed until now. The user interface is intuitive, and the hub is packed with options, making this monitor as versatile as it is powerful. Another fantastic addition is the array of connectivity options. With multiple HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, along with USB ports, this monitor can handle all your devices with ease. I have it connected to my PC, PS5, and even a streaming device, and switching between them is seamless. Build quality is excellent, with a premium feel that matches the performance. The monitor stand is sturdy and highly adjustable, allowing you to tilt, swivel, and height-adjust to find the perfect viewing angle. The sleek design and thin bezels add a modern touch to any gaming setup. Setting it up was a breeze. The box was well-packaged, and the monitor itself was easy to assemble. Samsung’s attention to detail is evident even in the setup process. Delivery was also smooth and timely, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. In conclusion, the Samsung Odyssey G65B is a masterpiece of gaming technology. It checks every box for gamers—stunning visuals, exceptional performance, and advanced features. It’s worth every penny and then some. If you’re serious about gaming, this monitor will elevate your experience to an entirely new level. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Absolutely great curved monitor for his PC. Samsung, top of the line can't go wrong!
Size: 32"
Bought this for my son's birthday / Christmas present because they are so close together. I think it was only about three or $400. But it is the Samsung which is a top rate item. And it has a curved screen for better viewing. That's what he wanted so that's what he got! LOL he said it works greatly and you can adjust so many settings such as the brightness the sound and everything else. Good size too! 32 inches that's like a TV screen LOL
