Netherlands Apologizes for 1947 Indonesia Massacre | The Jakarta Globe: Rawagede. The Dutch government formally apologized on Friday to the families of victims of a 1947 massacre on Indonesia’s Java island, on the 64th anniversary of the executions by its colonial army.
Dutch troops swooped into a village in the town of Rawagede during Indonesia’s fight for independence and executed men and boys as their families and neighbors looked on.
Dutch officials say 150 people were killed, but a support group and the local community say the death toll was 431.
