Angelique vd P

Een levenslange fascinatie voor geschiedenis en dan met name het verhaal achter de geschiedenis, achter een gebouw, of vergeten verhalen uit archieven. Met mijn eigen bedrijf Verhalenschat vooral gespecialiseerd in Amsterdamse geschiedenis en de Tweede Wereldoorlog waar ik verschillende publicaties over heb geschreven en gastelessen/lezingen over geef, maar zelf ben ik veel breder georiënteerd. Ik ben eigenlijk altijd bezig met het uitbreiden van mijn kennis door lezen, documentaires en reizen.
