ABSTRACT
Conference centre Woudschoten in Zeist became famous among Dutch Jews. Many conferences were held there, ranging from a meeting of the Zionist women’s movement WIZO to courses in Hebrew by the Tarboetressort. Yet from 1990 onwards the name ‘Woudschoten’ acquired a meaning all its own. ‘I’ve been to Woudschoten’ meant that you had attended one of the conferences for and about Jews born after the war. A generation became visible there that had previously tended to be overshadowed by wartime survivors.
