The exhibit "The Netherlands and Netherlands East Indies in Peace and War" was on display during March 1944 in the Rundel Art Gallery, located at the Rundel Memorial Building of the Rochester Public Library. The exhibit consisted of 90 enlarged photographs depicting all phases of life in the Netherlands and Dutch East Indies prior to and since the outbreak of World War II. The photograph exhibit coincided with an evening of speakers on March 7, 1944 at the Rundel Memorial Building. The main speaker, Joseph W. Stoppelman, represented the government of the Netherlands. A native of Holland, he was the head of the Press Department of the Netherlands Information Bureau in New York City and author of "The Lion Rampant", a story of activities of the Netherlands government exiled in London. Dr. Adrian P.H. Trivelli, of Eastman Kodak, spoke on the Dutch East Indies where he lived for several years. The evening ended with the film "The Dutch Tradition".
