Arnhem, Amsterdam's godchild.

Arnhem, Amsterdam's godchild. (Actie: Amsterdam helpt Arnhem.) 'Take care that they do not croak.' The words sound harsh, but this is a time that even prime ministers forget that they were educated at Holland's most polished schools. 'When people still sleep with their umbrellas, against the rain, we must not complain if our furniture is a bit worn out', the burgomaster of a village near Arnhem said. Many people in Arnhem still cook in cattle-kettles. They live in the cellars of what was once their house. They sleep on straw and they have no plates for their food. They have no forks or spoons to eat it with; since they have no meat to cut, it does not matter that they have no knives.
