Hi everyone,
Thank you for watching this week's video. I hope you enjoyed learning about the real life story - or Dutch folk tale - of Kenau. And of course, about how the siege of Haarlem was the reason why the word Kenau was used in the first place. Whether the Dutch story of Kenau is a Dutch legend or not; we will never be 100 per cent sure, blame the Spanish for the lack of proof of our heroic Dutch women. The Netherlands is filled with interesting, historic - and modern - stories and I will be there to cover them for you. While at the same time also help you explore the hidden gems in The Netherlands.

She certainly was a hero during the siege "before and after" One who would stand up to marauders,a bold and brave woman,most worthy to be recognised among other great people of Dutch history

Thank you so much. Being Dutch and old, living in Londen it’s great to share this story with my four daughters and four granddaughters! I actually lived at the Kenaupark in Haarlem in 1980. I even remember the statue of Hannie Schaft being unveiled. There’s a lot of interesting historical and artistic material in and about Haarlem.
