Henk Hofland
Hendrik Johannes Adrianus Hofland (Rotterdam, 20 July 1927) is a Dutch journalist, commentator, essayist and columnist. H.J.A. Hofland, as he is also commonly known, is often referred to as the éminence grise of Dutch journalism. In 1999 he was named Dutch "Journalist of the century" in a nationwide poll among his peers.〔(Journalist Hofland wins top literary prize ), Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 14 December 2010〕 He once described himself as belonging to the "anarcho-liberal community" and in his work his political orientation emerges as fitting in with the secular middle of society.〔 ('Groot kanon' inspireert niet iedereen ), NRC Handelsblad, 17 December 1999〕〔 (Hofland: meester van hoofdzaken en bagatellen ), Trouw, 16 December 2010〕
==Early life and career==
Hofland was born in Rotterdam. As a twelve-year-old boy he witnessed the bombing of the city on 14 May 1940, during the German invasion of the Netherlands, in which the centre of Rotterdam was almost completely destroyed, killing 900 civilians and leaving 80,000 homeless. It was an episode that marked his life: "On 15 May I woke up in a completely different world. It is an experience that stays with you your entire life. The bosses were not bosses anymore, the city was on fire, and the villains had the upper hand."〔 ('Malaparte trekt voortdurend een lange neus' ), NRC Handelsblad, 5 July 2002〕
In 1946 he started to study at Nyenrode Business University, where he met Willem Oltmans. He never finished his studies.〔 (Biografie H.J.A. Hofland ), VPRO Marathoninterview (accessed 10 June 2011)〕 In 1950 he moved to Amsterdam, and in 1953 started his journalistic career at the ''Algemeen Handelsblads foreign desk. At the ''Handelsblad'', Anton Constandse instructed Hofland to the practice of journalism; he worked with Hans van Mierlo and Jan Blokker, who became lifelong friends, just like author Harry Mulisch.〔〔
In October 1956 Hofland went to Budapest, where the revolution against Soviet occupation had been going on for several days. On the night of 3 November he heard the Russian tanks arrive in the capital and witnessed the surrender of the resistance. Hofland later declared “I knew that freedom had lost and that the West wouldn't help.”〔(Hungary 1956-2006 ), Lectures and discussion: The Netherlands-Hungary Interactions, 31 October 2006〕
