Anton Constandse

In September 2008 the IISH was happy to receive an important addition to its rich archive on the anarchist, Anton Constandse. Constandse's grandson, Paul van der Gaag, donated hundreds of his letters, postcards, and manuscripts from the 1930s and 1940s. A major portion consists of correspondence between Anton and his (second) wife Gerda, from October 7, 1940 to September 17, 1944.

Occupational Accident Victims

The disastrous fires in the Kader Factory (Thailand, 1992) and Zhili Toy Factory (China, 1993), that killed more than 250 workers led to a campaign to improve health and safety rights of workers and victims in Asia. As a result, in 1997 the Asian Network for the Rights of Occupational Accident Victims, ANROAV was constituted.
