Gedurende het afgelopen jaar is er intensief gewerkt aan research inzake niet alleen de historie van de Voice of Peace maar ook aan al het humanitaire werk dat Abe Nathan heeft gedaan gedurende de afgelopen vier decennia. Hans Knot is daarbij geassisteerd door vele mensen, waaronder naasten van Nathan en vele deejays uit het verleden. Dit resulteerde in een 250 pagina’s dik boek. Tientallen foto’s zijn in het boek geplaatst maar gezien het aanbod aan foto’s dermate groot was is besloten een gratis foto cd bij te sluiten. Het boek zal worden gepresenteerd op de Radiodag, die op 4 november in Amsterdam zal worden gehouden. Het boek kan nu worden besteld voor 30 Euro voor lezers in Nederland en 33 Euro voor daar buiten. Je kunt het geld sturen naar SMC, Postbus 53121 1007 RC Amsterdam of overmaken op gironummer 4065700 ten name van Mediacommunicatie Amsterdam. Vermeld, bij bestelling uit het buitenland: IBAN number:  NL 37 PSTB 0004 0657 00    BIC: PSTBNL21 . Dit om hoge kosten te voorkomen.

 

 

Remembering ...



A series of memories edited by Hans Knot

In 1969 the MV Peace, Abie Nathan's radio ship, sailed from Amsterdam to New York. There it had to stay for three long years through lack of funds. Then at last, after a long and eventfull journey, the ship anchored off Tel Aviv in January 1977 where it was sunk in 1993. Over all those years many things happened to the radio station aboard, the Voice of Peace, that was meant by its owner to voice a message of peace where this was needed. This series presents the memories of those involved with this eventfull enterprise. 
Note: Soundscapes will only publish chapter 1, 2, 3, 25 and 31 of this series, These and the remaining chapters will be published in November 2006 by the SMC in a book containing an additional photo-dvd. It can be ordered as from now at the Foundation for Media Communication, PO Box 53121, 1007 RC Amsterdam.
