‘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.

It was 1989. Andrea was seven years old and lived in Forte dei Marmi on Italy’s Tyrrhenian coast. He was beginning to discover the world. Together with his family, they travelled around Italy and Europe – from East to West and from North to South – and saw the reality of borders. And then, one day in November 1989, the way they looked at Europe changed completely. As day turned to night, Europe reached a turning point. 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. We kindly thank Rai Direzione Teche for granting the use of their audio material.

Did you know that 85% of all rough diamonds are traded through the port of Antwerp in Belgium? Needless to say that European consumers play a prominent role in driving the world’s diamond trade. Yet many diamonds come from conflict zones, where the proceeds may be used to fund violence or finance deadly conflicts. Here are three things the EU does for people worried about these so-called ‘conflict minerals’.
