Tekst achterflap

Brothers Samuel and Henk Otte follow in the footsteps of their great-grandfather, Rev. Gerrit Hendrik Kersten, an influential Dutch Protestant minister who travelled to the United States in 1939 to give emigrant members of his church encouragement and support. The book’s narrative is woven through archive photographs and diary entries, resulting in a visual journey to the towns, families, churches, and farmsteads that Kersten visited. The book is designed by Amsterdam-based graphic designer Hans Gremmen.
