Traces That Remained - APM Cammaert

Traces That Remained is a historical work focusing on the aftermath of World War II, particularly in the southern Netherlands (with an emphasis on Limburg).

Cammaert describes how the war did not end in 1945 for many people. He shows that the events of the war continued to impact daily life for a long time. This includes:

• former resistance fighters
• collaborators and their families
• people who carried loss, trauma, or guilt

The book largely consists of personal stories and testimonies. This provides a very human perspective on what war does to people, even years later.
