Een Waarlijk Vrije - Truly Free

this page is a work in progress

C. J. Sikkel wrote a short book about Dr Sietsma in 1946.

Dr Sietsma’s son Arie Sietsma wrote an English translation around 1996. His grandson Kornelis (Korny) - author of this page - is working on a new cleaned-up translation based on Arie’s work, plus using modern tools to translate the original Dutch (and possibly the help of some Dutch-speaking friends)

At the moment I have:

• A scanned copy of the original book (to be uploaded)
• My OCR of the scanned book (this may have mistakes - OCR isn’t perfect, and I haven’t always been able to catch the errors)
• Arie’s Translation - I only had an old Word document so it may have a few glitches
• An automated translation using a LLM translator
