Boekrecensie: Baby’s van de Hongerwinter – De onvermoede erfenis van ondervoeding (Dutch)
Publisher: Uitgeverij Augustus
ISBN 978-90-457-0419-7
Summary translated into English (book is in Dutch only)
In 2010 it was 65 years ago that the Dutch wartime winter famine (Hongerwinter) came to an end. To mark the occasion, project leader of the Hongerwinter study Tessa Roseboom wrote a book about her famine research together with journalist Ronald van de Krol. Several participants of the Hongerwinter study were interviewed by Mr. Van de Krol, who chronicled the poignant stories of the “winter famine babies,” with Roseboom providing the scientific explanation of how today’s ailments can be traced back to the malnutrition of the past. The first copy of the book was received by the director of the Dutch Heart Foundation.
Research leader Tessa Roseboom, daughter of two Dutch Hongerwinter-babies, and journalist Ronald van de Krol summarized the most important findings based on the life stories of eight Hongerwinter-babies. The result is a beautiful book with accessible medical-scientific information and extraordinary anecdotes about pregnancy and childbirth under harsh wartime conditions. Pregnant women often saved food from their mouths for their hungry children, but in doing so, in retrospect, did their unborn child a great disservice.
The book on the Dutch Hongerwinter is probably one of the few war books to highlight a subject with such profound implications for today. Never before has it been so blatantly demonstrated how diseases can have their origin in the first months of unborn life. Mothers-to-be can make a huge contribution to disease prevention by eating healthy and sufficient food during pregnancy. After all, in the womb we are programmed for the rest of our lives.
