Their story
Louis Raemaekers was a Dutch cartoonist. His mother was of German origin. His work is characterized precisely by an anti-German character, in fact the German government even placed a reward on his head, 12,000 gulden. He worked for publications such as Algemeen Handelsblad or De Telegraaf, denouncing the German invasion and the "atrocities" committed by them, among which those concerning what was known as "Rape of Belgium" stood out.
