Four Days In May
www.14mei.nl
Since 2015 we organise each year at May 14 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands a poetry commemoration along the Brandgrens (Fire Boundary) of Rotterdam to remember the casualties of the Nazi-Germany bombardement of Rotterdam at May 14, 1940. In 2024 we organise it for the first time also abroad and we renamed it into Four Days In May. The first day will be in Rome at May 11, the second day will be in Paris at May 12 and the third and fourth day will be in Rotterdam at May 13 and 14.
