From the Ukraine war and the pandemic to our own housing and nitrogen crisis, the great challenges of our time leave us insecure and paralyse politicians. But how did we do this before? Back then there were also epidemics, refugee crises and natural disasters, but without vaccines, security regions or delta works.

How did the Netherlands overcome the cholera pandemic? How could hopeless wars lead to long periods of peace? And why are we now better protected by previous floods? In this evening full of gripping stories and colourful examples, De Graaf shows which history lessons can be our first aid in case of accidents.
