Their goal was to create a lasting historical record that linked the sacrifices of the 1838 Voortrekkers with the political and cultural rise of the Afrikaner nation in the post-WWII era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Voortrekkermonument-Inwydingskomitee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58239930958127,"sku":"Amptelike Program en Gedenkboek, Pretoria 13 tot 16 Desember 1949","price":295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/files\/20260722_135757-Copy.jpg?v=1784734063","url":"https:\/\/timeless-collectible-books.com\/products\/amptelike-program-en-gedenkboek-pretoria-13-tot-16-desember-1949","provider":"Timeless Collectible Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
