1268 – Dutch TV broadcasting from November 3th 1960: an interview with Dr. Theunissen

The mountain of Silence

My fellow blogger Vasilis found this interview (in Dutch!) with the one the most famous Dutch Athos-’connaisseurs’, mister W.B. Theunissen. It is special that this interview from the early days of television survived and now is to be seen on EUscreen.

Dr Theunissen wrote three books in Dutch about Athos: (see our Book Title List nr 1207)

We payed attention to his books in 389, 390, 399, 408, 632.

  1. The interview doesn’t contain any news for the most of us, but it is very interesting to see the for dutch Athos-pilgrims very well know dr Theunissen on this document, and how they spoke about this subject in 1960.
    I’ve also a quite interesting VPRO-radiodocumentary from 10 May 1985 on cassette tape which was recorded on Athos itself, but it only contains the largest part. I have written to the VPRO two times for a CD containing the broadcast, but I never got an answer. Anybody who will give it another try ? MP3 maybe ?

  2. Dit zou in principe mogelijk moeten zijn: ik heb zo’n apparaatje om casettetape te digitaliseren een paar maanden geleden bij het Kruidvat aanschaft, alleen tot op heden nog niet gebruikt, maar daar is inmiddels alle reden toe. Ik kan alleen geen termijn noemen; voorlopig ben ik voor het eerst sinds ruim tien jaar geveld door een flinke griep. Blijft dat de documentaire niet helemaal compleet is. Maar ik zal m’n best doen.
