Woohoo this is finally happening!

Good evening, Madame, from the Indies! I'm a student from Indonesia currently writing my undergraduate thesis about the migration of Europeans to the Netherlands Indies in the 1930's and the related economic state of the colony at that time. Growing up under Indonesian history curriculum, I don't think that we here ever speak about the Europeans during the Japanese occupation and after independence. I want to bring up this issue to try to show that history books we have in schools here is not completely true and unbiased.

Anyway, I have several questions, some are kinda specific, so I hope you don't mind answering them.

  1. What was your family business/your parents occupations?
  2. Since your father is a European (not an Indo), I assumed he was born in Europe. Do you know why did he move to the Indies?
  3. Where in the Indies did you live?
  4. What was it like to live as a European in the Indies, who at that time enjoyed special higher status than other ethnic (like the Chinese and Inlanders)? Was the social distance between the Europeans and the natives really great (as implied by my history books) or not?
  5. This question is the "hole" that I never learn about in school, so I'm gonna ask: Why did your family leave the Indies? Did the new, natives-dominated Indonesian government force you? And what happen to your house and business left?

Bedankt voor deze AMA. I have a lot of questions left though. :D
