The Nieuw Land heritage centre presents the rich history of the area we now call Flevoland. This book includes stories about the migrants of Flevoland and how they have shaped society such as the first Moroccans who settled there; or the story of the
Zuiderzee fishermen, for whom a major disaster threatened the closure of their bay. It also includes an exhibition article on the wreck of the Batavia: "Schipbreuk in Lelystad : de nieuwe ondergang van de oude Batavia" by Andre Geurts.
