Klaas Kloeten His Story Klaas Kloeten
Born before the Depression in the Netherlands, a teenager when WWII began, a soldier in Indonesia in his twenties and an immigrant to New Zealand in the 1950’s with his bride to be. Through his diaries and letters home, Klaas gives us insight into life from his perspective within the context of the political turmoil of the time. Having been written in Dutch, Klaas set about translating these memories into English, a lengthy process spanning over 20 years until shortly before his death in 2014.**
