ABOUT US

The FAN Foundation aims to investigate an important, forgotten episode in local, national and international history, to rethink and rediscover meaning. This will benefit the historical awareness of all concerned, and at the same time provides examples of how to approach contemporary issues in a broader perspective. FAN invites other parties to work with us.
