Utrecht commemoration organizations satisfied with quiet ceremonies: ‘Sign of respect that you can be quiet together’

Hundreds of people commemorate on Domplein War leaves deep scars

That special moment also remained undisturbed in Utrecht, and was old-fashionedly impressive, according to Johanneke Bedaux. “Despite the bad weather, there were hundreds of people on the square. And Ingmar Heytze put it very nicely, I thought. He said that with so many people around you, being silent for two minutes is a work of art in itself. And that it is a sign of civilization is that you can be quiet with each other for a while.”
