War
Child in the Netherlands launched a 60-second video in May, coinciding with May 4 and 5, when WWII is remembered in the Netherlands. The organization gives physical support to children who
are traumatized by war. The video shows a young "war child," recalling a traumatic time in his youth when people of all ages were taken abruptly and thrown in the back of a truck. "Don't let this
story become his story," flashes copy. "Help us take the war out of a child." The story is actually that of a now grown man, a child of WWII, still visibly and emotionally haunted by the image he
witnessed as a child.
