Death Penalty
The Netherlands
The last person to pay for his crime with death in peacetime in the Netherlands is Johannes Nathan. He was hanged on 31 October 1860 on the Markt in Maastricht because he had murdered his mother-in-law.
With the Law of September 17, 1870 the death penalty was officially forbidden. Only in military criminal law the death penalty was still possible.
After the Second World War, 152 death sentences were imposed on war criminals through a special procedure, 39 of which were also carried out.
With the constitutional amendment of 1983, the death penalty in the Netherlands is prohibited by law in all cases.

District Zuidhoorn
D.G. Postma ran for election for the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) in 1905.
In the second round he lost. D.G. Postma was unable to continue his campaign to the end due to illness.
In the nineteenth century the Netherlands was still divided into separate electoral districts.
The precise division of the districts has changed several times over the years.
In 1905 the Netherlands was divided into 100 electoral districts. In each district one member was elected to the House of Representatives. An absolute majority was required to be elected as a candidate. Sometimes an absolute majority was not obtained in the first round of elections. In that case, a second round of elections was held between the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round. Since the elections of 1918, the House of Representatives has been composed on the basis of proportional representation.

Huiselijk Geluk
Voorburg
Voorburg
In 1912, the association “huiselijk geluk" built 12 houses for the people. The location is Oranjelust 45-47, Voorburg.
The construction of the houses was partly on the initiative of C.F.J. Blooker and D.G. Postma. D.G. Postma was also chairman of the association.
Due to industrialization there was a great migration to the city and there was a major housing shortage. This changed with the introduction of the Housing Act of 1901. The government started to provide financial support and set requirements for the quality of the homes. As a result, housing associations were established everywhere. The first in Voorburg was "Huiselijk Geluk", founded in 1909.
After 1913 the association builds more houses in Voorburg.

Original memorial window
After a church restoration, 2 memorial windows were combined. The current window is composed of parts of memorial windows of D. G. Postma (1913) and N.G. Veldhoen (1934).
In the midst of all kinds of colored glass, this window shows a rooster (vigilance) and an owl (wisdom) and in the middle an open bible with the arrows of the directions of a compass.
