We purchased this at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. It's done in a comic style very reminiscent of Herge's Tin-Tin.
I haven't finished this yet, but it has a young man looking around his grandmother's attic for items that he could use to celebrate her on Queen's Day (a Dutch celebratory holiday, on the sovereign's birthday). While looking around he finds some pictures and some evidence that, eh, there are some secrets in the pasts of his ancestors. Like trying to keep a small family of Jews hidden from the occupying Nazis.
It's harrowing and sobering at the same time, like much of the Dutch approach to their checkered past in the tropics.
This was in a bag that wasn't looked through until today. Whoopsie!
