Abstract
Every culture has its own memory practices, that is, ways of encoding and transmitting memories in narratives, images, rituals, display of emotions, or coping strategies after traumatic events. History offers the material to study the development of memory practices on a longer term. An example of how individuals and societies create, communicate, and preserve memories of traumatic events can be studied in the case of Oudewater, a small town in Holland, that was sacked and massacred by Spanish troops in 1575. An annual service to commemorate this event is held in Oudewater until today.
