Hans Visser’s book, Wieteke van Dort: Kind van Twee Culturen; Een familiekroniek was published on October 25, 2018. However, as a journalist working with Noor d-Holland Dagblad, it seems that Hans is quite interested in telling the story to the public.
On Thursday, November 2 2018, the UGM History Department invited Hans to tell the story of Wieteke van Dort’s life. The event was held from 1 to 15.00 in Meeting Room 1, Poerbatjaraka Building, FIB, UGM.
According to Hans, what is interesting about Wieteke is the origins of the two cultures that have influenced him, Java and the Netherlands. Yes, all because Wieteke is indeed an Indo. Born in Surabaya on May 16, 1943, Wieteke is the daughter of a Dutch father and Javanese mother. Unfortunately, when he was visiting the Netherlands at the age of 18, his family decided to settle in Den Haag
