"Nog steeds 15000 Nederlanders de gevangenen van de Republiek Djocja" is a 1948 artwork by W. van 't Rood-Gerth van Wijk. This is a printed document, possibly a petition or propaganda piece, highlighting the plight of Dutch prisoners during the Indonesian National Revolution. The text pleads for their release, focusing on the humanitarian crisis and the suffering of the prisoners, especially women and children. This artwork provides valuable insight into the Dutch perspective on the war and the desperate situation of the prisoners. The text is written in Dutch, but the title alone is sufficient to convey the message: "Still 15,000 Dutch are prisoners of the Republic of Djocja". This piece represents a powerful historical artifact reflecting the complexities of the Indonesian National Revolution and the Dutch colonial legacy.
