The occupation of the Maagdenhuis, Amsterdam, 1969 (”The Maagdenhuis - the location of the adminstration of the University of Amsterdam - was in 1969 occupied by students, demanding student participation on all levels. As Ed van der Elsken says: “With a bit of giggling, guilty looks and disobedience, kids crawled inside the Maagdenhuis, tittering away like scouts sneaking into a haystack for the night. The rest is history, the heroism of Dutch student movement.) by Ed van der Elsken (NL, 1925-1990)
