‘What does it mean to be European? And for me, what does it mean to be Dutch? Is it to have been born in the Netherlands? To have Dutch parents?’

On our My House of European History platform, we invite people from all over Europe to share their personal stories. Ingrid’s story is about identity, about Dutch identity. She talks about how her passion for history helped her in the search for her own identity.
Hundreds of stories, documents, photos and videos published by people from all over Europe. This is ‘My History’, a collaborative project of the European Parliament, where history and the lives of European citizens coincide.
