Wiardi Beckman Stichting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wiardi Beckman Stichting (The Wiardi Beckman Foundation) is a Dutch think tank linked to the left-of-center Labour Party (PvdA).

The foundation is named after Herman Bernard Wiardi Beckman, a member of the Upper House, who during the Second World War was summoned by Queen Wilhelmina to become a member of the war cabinet, but who was caught by the Sicherheitsdienst and who died in the Dachau concentration camp.
