Tips for visiting the Netherlands:

— Red pavement = bike lane, do not walk on it, you’ll get run over! Walk on the gray sidewalk next to it

— Street signs can be frustratingly subtle and hard to spot. If you’re figuring out where to turn on a map, check what businesses are on the corner.

— Go to Leiden if you want to see pretty historic things. One intercity station away from Schiphol, much less crowded than Amsterdam.

— Amsterdam and Amersfoort are two different cities, as one poor soul on this train just figured out

Philip Holland, father of Luke Holland - Message to the parliament on Luke's birthday, 4th April 2025:

My life ended with the murder of my wonderful son, Luke, nearly 10 years ago, and my wife, Rita's life which ended nearly 5 years ago. All due to the Neo-Nazi, hate of foreigners, actions of Rolf Zielezinski. I shall never understand why the prosecutor would not charge him with a Neo-Nazi, hate murder, when there was so much evidence of weapons, which could easily be re-enabled, and Nazi/Hitler memorabilia in his apartment.

I grieve every single day for the loss of Luke and Rita, and utterly resent the fact, that this murderer will be free to be with his 3 sons and family again, within a short time.

I will forever partially blame the police for my loss, because they did not competently, fully, and without prejudice, investigate a known suspect, Rolf Zielezinski, for the earlier murder of Burak Bektaş. If they had my son, and wife would still be alive and with me today.

Philip Holland, Luke Holland'ın babası - Luke'un doğum günü olan 4 Nisan 2025'te parlamentoya mesajı:

Hayatım yaklaşık 10 yıl önce harika oğlum Luke'un katledilmesiyle ve yaklaşık 5 yıl önce de eşim Rita'nın hayatının sona ermesiyle, bitti. Hepsi Rolf Zielezinski'nin Neo-Nazi ve yabancılara karşı nefreti, yüzünden. Savcının onu neden Neo-Nazi diye, nefret cinayetiyle suçlamadığını, evinde kolayca yeniden etkinleştirilebilecek çok sayıda silah ve Nazi/Hitler hatırası varken, asla anlayamayacağım.

Luke ve Rita'nın kaybı için, her geçen gün üzülüyorum. Bu katilin kısa bir süre içinde tekrar 3 oğlu ve ailesiyle birlikte olabileceği gerçeğini tamamen içerliyorum.

Kaybımdan poliside sonsuza dek sorulumlu tutacağım, zira daha önceki Burak Bektaş cinayetinde şüpheli olarak bilinen Rolf Zielezinski'yi yetkin, kapsamlı ve tarafsız bir şekilde soruşturmadıkları için .Eğer öyle olsaydı, oğlum ve eşim bugün hâlâ hayatta ve benimle birlikte olurdu.

Philip Holland, Vater von Luke Holland – Botschaft an das Parlament zu Lukes Geburtstag, 4. April 2025:

Mein Leben endete mit der Ermordung meines wunderbaren Sohnes Luke vor fast zehn Jahren und dem Ende des Lebens meiner Frau Rita vor fast fünf Jahren. Alles aufgrund des ausländerfeindlichen Hasses und neonazistischen Tat des Rolf Zielezinski. Ich werde nie verstehen, warum die Staatsanwaltschaft ihn nicht wegen neonazistischen Hassverbrechens anklagen wollte, obwohl es so viele Beweise für Waffen, die leicht wieder einsatzbereit wären, und Nazi-/Hitler-Erinnerungsstücke in seiner Wohnung gab. Ich trauere jeden einzelnen Tag um den Verlust von Luke und Rita und bin zutiefst bestürzt darüber, dass dieser Mörder bald wieder frei sein wird und mit seinen drei Söhnen und seiner Familie zusammen sein kann.

Ich werde die Polizei für immer mitverantwortlich für meinen Verlust machen, weil sie einen bekannten Verdächtigen, Rolf Zielezinski, nicht kompetent, umfassend und unvoreingenommen wegen des früheren Mordes an Burak Bektaş untersucht hat. Wenn sie es getan hätten, wären mein Sohn und meine Frau noch am Leben und heute bei mir.

Postcard from Holland: Amsterdam

Vorfreude! Im Juni geht es wieder mit Zelt raus in die Natur, nach Edam. Draußen schlafen, Tiere füttern und Freunde aus Amsterdam treffen.
Was gibt es schöneres, als Camping im Zelt?
