The Amsterdam glaziers celebrated when the windows were smashed
English · translation
In 1848, Carl Hancke wanted to gather many people at the Dam in Amsterdam. He organized a large meeting there. Carl Hancke himself did not come.
The atmosphere became unsettled and the people started shouting. Some people threw stones and broke windows. The glaziers in Amsterdam were happy, because now they got more work.
The police tried to keep the people calm, but it was difficult. It was a busy and dangerous day at the Dam.
