NG-1979-565-34
Toegoenezen zijn van zeer uiteenlopende herkomst: ze dragen Portugese, Nederlandse, Chinese, Maleise, Soendanese en Ambonese achternamen. Ze woonden in Toegoe, een dorp bij Jakarta op Java. Vanaf de 17de eeuw, de tijd van de VOC waren ze verbonden met het Nederlandse gezag. Nadat Indonesië soevereiniteit verworven had verhuisden ze naar Nieuw Guinea. Hier stichtten ze een bloeiende landbouwnederzetting. Nederland droeg echter ook Nieuw Guinea over aan Indonesië en de Toegoenezen verhuisden in 1962 naar Nederland. Hier werden ze in de Willem de Zwijgerkazerne ondergebracht, een centraal opvangcentrum. Van hieruit gingen ze naar Suriname, maar ze slaagden er niet in een nieuw leven op te bouwen en in de periode 1967-68 keerden ze terug naar Nederland. Ondanks het feit dat het een kleine groep betrof, werden ze toch over het hele land verspreid.
