Japan's imperial couple meet grandchild of ex-Dutch general in Amsterdam

Inez Schelfhout (L), the granddaughter of a former Dutch general who survived a Japanese internment camp as a child during World War II, is pictured before meeting with Japan's Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako in Amsterdam on June 19, 2026. Her late grandfather was imprisoned in what is now Indonesia after the country was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army. In 2000, he attended a ceremony in which Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko laid flowers at a war memorial during their visit to the Netherlands. (Pool photo)
