NOS News • today, 10:09
French police shot dead man who wanted to set fire to Rouen synagogue…

The visible caption on this photo here is ‘ANP’, the in Holland well known almost 100 year old press agency (similar to eg Reuters) distributing news to other professional media like newspapers and our national tv broadcaster .

Annoying … (knowing) you now need to check every news item image (photo/still) of the Dutch national news broadcaster NOS to find out whether that image really is a news photo or actually fake … just an illustration from some archive.

You need to click this image in the post to be able to read the small print additional caption, this is just an archive image (dutch: archiefbeeld) … no news.

I appreciate the excellent NOS public national news broadcaster in the Netherlands. And, using archive footage may help storytelling in documentary work. However, here, watching the NOS site on an iPad or desktop PC, it’s obvious the design of the site creates a problem , since posting a news item requires using at least one image. With no news photo available , the best alternative here appears to be using text for the featured image.

Else, best, show the notice ‘Archive image’ clearly visible at first glance in the post’s image… (?)

Brussels, Belgium. February 28th, 2009.
Day two of my encounter with the TRANSPORT XX installation outside at the Royal park in Brussels, that presented 1200 photographic portraits of Jews deported from Mechelen (Belgium) to Auschwitz, April 19th 1943.
That day, Saturday morning, three close-up long takes – ‘traveller shots’ – of two rows of the installation were recorded. The first take of the bottom row is presented in slow-motion here. Two months later – April 19, 2009 – the short film TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels was published.

Kazerne Dossin digitized the photo’s, that mostly are from the “National State Archives of Belgium. Ministry of Justice, Public Safety Office, Foreigner’s Police, individual files“.
Thank you: Marjan Verplancke and co-workers of the Kazerne Dossin / Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance in Mechelen (Belgium) of project “Give Them a Face”.

4-Life | Miracles•Media | 20240420

Last night, 81 years ago, the night of April 19-20, 1943, the 20th train convoy departed the Dossin barracks (Kazerne Dossin) in Mechelen (Belgium) with 33 cattle cars crammed with 1631 Jewish men, women and children for Auschwitz.

Half an hour after the departure of this Transport XX three young men from Brussels, Youra Livschitz, Jean Franklemon and Robert Maistriau stopped the train between Boortmeerbeek and Haacht, opened one of the cars and liberated 17 prisoners.

Yesterday , April 19, 2024, the memorial ‘4-Life’ was inaugurated in Korbeek-Lo with a speech by the initiator, researcher, Jo Peeters — curator of the nearby Museum House of the Belgian-French Resistance — on the history of the second attack later that night at Korbeek-Lo, 81 years ago .
