Dutch wolf in National Park Hoge Veluwe crawls through badger tunnel
This wildlife camera shows footage of a wolf on the Southwest Veluwe crawling through a badger tunnel with a diameter of 30 centimeters. It once again demonstrates that the wolf only needs a small hole to pass through a fence.
This fence is designed to deter wild boars and therefore not intended to stop wolves, but it does offer new insights into the inventive behavior of the wolf.

Wentke (Gown)
Mid 18th Century
The Netherlands
Women in Hindeloopen, a town in the northern Netherlandish province of Friesland, traditionally wore this type of striking lightweight coat, called a wentke, on special occasions. Beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, wentkes were usually made of boldly patterned Indian chintzes, and contrary to the custom in the rest of Europe of confining chintz to casual and private occasions, residents of Hindeloopen elevated this exotic fabric to a formal status. The wentke was often worn with other garments of Indian cotton. (The MET)

Imagine being a Holocaust survivor and together with your great-grandchild, you participate in the opening of a Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, and a hysterical group is shouting "Free Palestine" in the background, overshadowing the entrance. Zero respect.
