At the end of the nineteenth century, Popke Bakker, son of the innkeeper of De Drie Zwaantjes in Langweer, decided to start a haberdashery store in Buitenpost with his wife Dieuwke and their nine children – who would eventually number fifteen. The business soon became well-known. In the years that followed, P.S. Bakker grew into a famous fashion house in the north, with branches in Leeuwarden and Groningen. The strictly Calvinist Bakkers were also administratively and politically active. Some of Popke and Dieuwke's grandchildren were homosexual, an orientation they tried not to show due to their Calvinist background. Couturier Sjoerd, his brothers Albert, Popke and Dirk, and their cousin, publisher Bert Bakker, played a prominent role in the artistic milieu of the late 1930s in Amsterdam. After the German invasion, they joined the resistance. Eventually, Sjoerd, who made the police uniforms for the attack on the Amsterdam population register in 1943, would be executed with his fellow resistance fighters. Other Bakkers also faced a dramatic fate. It is the first time that their descendants have allowed themselves to be interviewed about their ancestors. Toni Boumans also gained access to many personal documents. An unforgettable story of an exceptional family with an admirable moral compass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelevant tags:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNon-fiction, Biography, True Story, Family, History, History, Homosexual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Queer Boekenkast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52006632685915,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/4905\/5835\/files\/Product_1_49e5c597-0608-4fdb-8fec-68a3d0be7d99.jpg?v=1767870275","url":"https:\/\/www.dequeerboekenkast.nl\/nl\/products\/boumans-toni-je-mag-wel-bang-zijn-maar-niet-laf","provider":"De Queer Boekenkast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
