'''Marinus (Rinus) van der Lubbe''' (13 January 1909 – 10 January 1934) was a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Council communism|council communist]] convicted of, and executed for, setting fire to the [[Germany|German]] [[Reichstag building]] on 27 February 1933, an event known as the [[Reichstag fire]].

==Biography==
Marinus van der Lubbe was born in [[Leiden]] in the province of [[South Holland]]. He was born with learning difficulties,<ref>http://www.sundayworld.com/top-stories/crime-desk/donal-macintyre-s-crime-cafe/true-crime-calendar-the-reichstag-fire</ref> and apparently had a [[pyromania|fascination with fire]].{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} His parents were divorced and, after his mother died when he was 12, he went to live with his half-sister's family. In his youth Van der Lubbe worked as a bricklayer. He was nicknamed ''Dempsey'' after boxer [[Jack Dempsey]], because of his great strength. At his work, Van der Lubbe came in contact with the [[labour movement]]; in 1925, he joined the [[Communist Party of the Netherlands|Dutch Communist Party (CPN)]], and its youth section the [[General Dutch Youth League|Communist Youth Bund (CJB)]].

In 1926, he was injured at work, getting lime in his eyes, which left him in hospital for a few months and almost blinded him. The injury forced him to quit his work, so he was unemployed with a pension of only 7.44 [[Dutch gulden|guilders]] a week. Not being able to live off this, he was forced to take occasional jobs. After a few conflicts with his sister, Van der Lubbe moved to [[Leiden, Netherlands|Leiden]] in 1927. There he learned to speak some [[German language|German]] and founded the ''Lenin house'', where he organized political meetings. While working for the Tielmann factory a [[Strike action|strike]] broke out. Van der Lubbe claimed to the management to be one of the ringleaders and offered to accept any punishment as long as no one else was victimised, even though he was clearly too inexperienced to have been seriously involved. During the trial, he tried to claim sole responsibility and was purportedly hostile to the idea of getting off free.

Afterwards, Van der Lubbe planned to emigrate to the [[Soviet Union]], but he lacked the funds to do so. He was politically active among the unemployed workers' movement until 1931, when he fell into disagreement with the CPN and instead approached the [[Internationalist Communist Group]] (IKG). In 1933, Van der Lubbe fled to Germany to take action in the local communist underground. He had a criminal record for arson.

==Reichstag Fire==
{{Main|Reichstag Fire}}

[[File:Reichstagsbrand.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Reichstag fire|The Reichstag building on fire]].]]
According to the Berlin police, Van der Lubbe claimed to have [[Reichstag fire|set the Reichstag building on fire]] as a cry to rally the German workers against fascist rule. Under torture, he confessed again and was brought to trial along with the leaders of the opposition Communist Party. At his trial Van der Lubbe was convicted and sentenced to death for the Reichstag fire. The other four defendants ([[Ernst Torgler]], [[Georgi Dimitrov]], [[Blagoi Popov]], and [[Vasil Tanev]]) at the trial were acquitted. He was [[guillotined]] in a Leipzig prison yard on 10 January 1934, three days before his 25th birthday. He was buried in an unmarked grave on the Südfriedhof (South Cemetery) in Leipzig.

After [[World War II]], moves by Marinus van der Lubbe's brother, Jan van der Lubbe were made in an attempt to overturn the verdict against his brother. In 1967 his sentence was changed by a judge from death to eight years in prison. In 1980, after more lengthy complaints, a [[West Germany|West German]] court overturned the verdict entirely, but this was protested by the [[prosecutor|state prosecutor]]. The case was re-examined by the [[Federal Court of Justice of Germany]] for three years, until in 1983 the court made a final decision on the matter, overturning the result of the earlier 1980 trial on grounds that there was no basis for it, making it therefore illegal. However, on December 6, 2007, the [[Attorney General of Germany]] nullified (quashed) the entire verdict and post-humously pardoned Van der Lubbe based on a 1998 German law that makes it possible to overturn certain cases of Nazi injustice. The determination of the court was based on the premise that the National Socialist regime was by definition unjust, and since the death sentence in this case was politically motivated, it was likely to have contained an extension of that injustice. The finding was independent of the factual question of whether or not it was Van der Lubbe who actually set the fire.<ref>[http://www.generalbundesanwalt.de/de/showpress.php?themenid=10&newsid=298 Announcement of the Attorney General of Germany] (in German)</ref><ref name="telegraaf.nl">{{cite web|title=Marinus van der Lubbe gerehabiliteerd (Dutch) |url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/2992493/_Marinus_van_der_Lubbe_gerehabiliteerd__.html?p=15,1|accessdate=2008-01-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/secondworldwar/story/0,,2239610,00.html|newspaper=The Guardian|date=January 12, 2008|author=Kate Connolly|title=75 years on, executed Reichstag arsonist finally wins pardon}}</ref>

[[File:Reichstagfire1.jpg|thumb|250px|The window through which Van der Lubbe is supposed to have entered the building.]]
{{Main|Reichstag Fire}}
Historians disagree as to whether Van der Lubbe acted alone, as he said, to protest the condition of the German working class or whether the arson was planned and ordered by the Nazis, then dominant in the government themselves, as a [[false flag]] operation. The responsibility for the Reichstag fire remains an ongoing topic of debate and research.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Reichstag Fire|url=http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007657|work=Holocaust Encyclopedia|publisher=United States Holocaust Memorial Museum|accessdate=12 August 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=75 Years Ago, Reichstag Fire Sped Hitler's Power Grab|url=http://www.dw.de/75-years-ago-reichstag-fire-sped-hitlers-power-grab/a-3150026-1|accessdate=12 August 2013|newspaper=Deutsche Welle|date=27 February 2008|author=DW Staff}}</ref> According to [[Ian Kershaw]], writing in 1998, the consensus of nearly all historians is that Van der Lubbe did, in fact, set the ''Reichstag'' fire.<ref>Kershaw, Ian ''Hitler Hubris'' pages 456–458 & 731–732</ref> Although Van der Lubbe was certainly an arsonist, and clearly played a role, there has been considerable popular and scientific debate over whether he acted alone. The case is still actively discussed.

In July 1933, Marinus van der Lubbe, [[Ernst Torgler]], [[Georgi Dimitrov]], [[Blagoi Popov]], and [[Vasil Tanev]] were indicted on charges of setting the ''Reichstag'' on fire. From September 21 to December 23, 1933, the [[Leipzig Trial]] took place and was presided over by judges from the old German Imperial High Court, the ''[[Reichsgericht]]'', Germany's highest court. The presiding judge was Judge Dr. Wilhelm Bürger of the Fourth Criminal Court of the Fourth Penal Chamber of the Supreme Court.<ref>Snyder, Louis, ''Encyclopedia of the Third Reich''. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1976, p. 288</ref> The accused were charged with arson and with attempting to overthrow the government. At the end of the trial, however, only Van der Lubbe was convicted, while his fellow defendants were found not guilty.

'''''Max Havelaar: Or the Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company''''' ({{lang-nl|Max Havelaar, of de koffi-veilingen der Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappy}}) is a culturally and socially significant 1860 novel by [[Multatuli]] (the [[pen name]] of [[Eduard Douwes Dekker]]) (1820-1887) which was to play a key role in shaping and modifying [[Dutch Ethical Policy|Dutch colonial policy]] in the [[Dutch East Indies]] in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In the novel, the protagonist, Max Havelaar, tries to battle against a corrupt [[government]] system in [[Java (island)|Java]], which was a Dutch [[colony]] known as the [[Dutch East Indies]].

==Background==
By the mid-nineteenth century, the colonial control of the [[Dutch East Indies]] (present-day [[Indonesia]]) had passed from the [[Dutch East India Company]] (VOC) to the Dutch government due to the economic failure of the VOC. In order to increase revenue, the Dutch colonial government implemented a series of policies termed the [[Cultivation System]] (Dutch: ''cultuurstelsel''), which mandated Indonesian farmers to grow a quota of commercially tradable crops such as [[sugar]] and [[coffee]], instead of growing [[staple food]]s such as rice. At the same time, the colonial government also implemented a tax collection system in which the collecting agents were paid by [[Commission (remuneration)|commission]]. The combination of these two strategies caused widespread abuse of colonial power, especially on the islands of Java and [[Sumatra]], resulting in abject poverty and widespread starvation among the farmers.

Multatuli wrote ''Max Havelaar'' in protest against these colonial policies, but another goal was to seek rehabilitation for his resignation from governmental service. Despite its terse writing style, it raised the awareness of Europeans living in Europe at the time that the wealth that they enjoyed was the result of suffering in other parts of the world. This awareness eventually formed the motivation for the new [[Dutch Ethical Policy|Ethical Policy]] by which the Dutch colonial government attempted to "repay" their debt to their colonial subjects by providing education to some classes of natives, generally members of the elite loyal to the colonial government.

Indonesian novelist [[Pramoedya Ananta Toer]] argued that by triggering these educational reforms, ''Max Havelaar'' was in turn responsible for the nationalist movement that ended Dutch colonialism in Indonesia after 1945, and which was instrumental in the call for [[Decolonization of Africa|decolonization in Africa]] and elsewhere in the world. Thus, according to Pramoedya, ''Max Havelaar'' is "the book that killed colonialism".<ref name="pramoedya1999">Pramoedya Ananta Toer (1999). "The book that killed colonialism". ''The New York Times Magazine''. April 18: 112-114.</ref>

In the last chapter the author announces that he will translate the book "into the few languages I know, and into the many languages I can learn." In fact, ''Max Havelaar'' has been translated into thirty-four languages. It was first translated into English in 1868. In Indonesia, the novel was cited as an inspiration by [[Sukarno]] and other early nationalist leaders, such as the author's [[Indo people|Indo]] (Eurasian) descendant [[Ernest Douwes Dekker]], who had read it in its original [[Dutch language|Dutch]]. It was not translated into [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] until 1972.<ref name="feenberg1997">Feenberg, Anne-Marie (1997). "''Max Havelaar'': an anti-imperialist novel". ''MLN'' 112(5):817-835.</ref>

In the novel, the story of Max Havelaar, a Dutch colonial administrator, is told by two diametrically opposed characters: the hypocritical coffee merchant Droogstoppel, who intends to use Havelaar's manuscripts to write about the coffee trade, and the romantic German apprentice Stern, who takes over when Droogstoppel loses interest in the story. The opening chapter of the book nicely sets the tone of the [[satire|satirical]] nature of what is to follow, with Droogstoppel articulating his pompous and mercenary world-view at length. At the very end of the novel Multatuli himself takes the pen and the book culminates in a vocal denunciation of Dutch colonial policies and a plea to the king of the Netherlands to intervene on behalf of his Indonesian subjects.

== Film version ==
The novel was filmed in 1976 by [[Fons Rademakers]] as part of a Dutch-Indonesian partnership. The film ''[[Max Havelaar (film)|Max Havelaar]]'' was not allowed to be shown in Indonesia until 1987.

:{{ESp|n}} per [[WP:WEIGHT]]. DiCaprio's relationship with Miller is already mentioned in the article.

== Picture ==

Very bad picture of him, should be changed to something more flattering.[[User:Halfright|Halfright]] ([[User talk:Halfright|talk]]) 02:56, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
:Wikipedia isn't here to flatter. That said, I agree it's not the best picture. If you know of better recent image, please provide a link. (Hint: it needs to be hosted at Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons and have no licensing problems.) [[User:Rivertorch|Rivertorch]] ([[User talk:Rivertorch|talk]]) 04:59, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I think the picture should be changed to: http://socialitelife.com/photos/leonardo-dicaprio-at-the-2013-golden-globe-awards/nbcs-70th-annual-golden-globe-awards-red-carpet-arrivals-4
it is more flattering and from the recent Golden Globes of 2013. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Kikicoupons|Kikicoupons]] ([[User talk:Kikicoupons|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kikicoupons|contribs]]) 15:49, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

you could always use this image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_DiCaprio_2002.jpg
its quite old but the best one (in my opinion) of him on wikipedia/media — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bridie long|Bridie long]] ([[User talk:Bridie long|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bridie long|contribs]]) 12:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC) 

:Yes, I think that one would meet policy, but it has two potential problems. First, its composition and exposure aren't good (which might be fixable through some major cropping and tweaking). More probematic, it ''is'' quite old, and the general practice is to use a more recent image when one is available. I don't feel strongly about it but would suggest holding off pending a newer, better image being uploaded. That's bound to happen sometime, and the current image isn't ''that'' bad. [[User:Rivertorch|Rivertorch]] ([[User talk:Rivertorch|talk]]) 19:00, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

:You like it better? It's not dissimilar to the current image; in fact, it looks like it may have been taken at the same photo op. Unlike the current one, it's a heavily cropped three-quarters view, he isn't smiling, and the top of his head is out of the frame. I'm willing to be persuaded, but please explain why you think it's a better choice. [[User:Rivertorch|Rivertorch]] ([[User talk:Rivertorch|talk]]) 06:14, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

What's the problem anyway with the current picture? I don't know if it's the most recent but he looks right in front of him, his head is not cut so to me it's acceptable. The one proposed is worse. --[[User:Sofffie7|Sofffie7]] ([[User talk:Sofffie7|talk]]) 20:57, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

== Filmography chart ==

When I was looking to see what films he had been in recently I found it very difficult as he does not have a table of filmography. A clear table showing film title, role, year and nominations should be erected.

Most actors have one so Leo deserves one to. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Kikicoupons|Kikicoupons]] ([[User talk:Kikicoupons|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kikicoupons|contribs]]) 15:54, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

== Mother's remarriage ==

In the early life and family section, it says about his mother "She remarried." Apart from being rather awkwardly phrased, this seems to me like the kind of statement that would need a reliable source to back it up.

Samenlevingscontract

2013-09-18T20:34:39Z

213.10.38.44:

Under [[Law of the Netherlands|Dutch law]], a '''samenlevingscontract''' is a written agreement loosely translating to "[[cohabitation agreement]]". It has been compared to marriage, but merely governs the so-called property relationships between two or more people who are cohabiting. It does not necessarily imply a marriage-like (or sexual) relationship exists, but the contract can include agreements about any children within the cohabitation arrangement.

Since the 1980s the contract has been popular among two different groups in Dutch society: people who wanted to formalise their relationship, but did not want to marry, and people who wanted to marry but could not legally do so. With the introduction first of [[Civil_union#Netherlands|registered partnerships]] and later the broadening of marriage to include gay and lesbians in the [[Netherlands]], the need for a samenlevingscontract for the latter has become less pronounced.

'''Casper ten Boom''' (18 May 1859 – 10 March 1944) was a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Christian]] who helped many [[Jews]] and resisters escape the [[Nazis]] during the [[Holocaust]] of [[World War II]]. He is the father of [[Betsie ten Boom|Betsie]] and [[Corrie ten Boom]], who also aided the Jews and were sent to [[Ravensbruck concentration camp]] where Betsie died. Ten Boom died 10 March 1944 at the [[Scheveningen]] Prison ten days after the arrest of the family.

== Background ==
Casper was born in [[Haarlem]] in 1859, the son of Willem ten Boom, who had a watchshop. When Ten Boom was eighteen years old, he started a jewelry store in [[Amsterdam]]. He had grown up in a family that belonged to the [[Dutch Reformed Church]] and had strong faith. While living in Amsterdam, he started a work among the poor people called ''Tot Heil des Volks'' (For the Salvation of the People). Later he returned to Haarlem to live.<ref name="Boom"/>

==Marriage and family==
In Sunday School he met Cor Luitingh, whom he married in 1884.<ref name="Boom">{{cite web|url=http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/286455.Father_Ten_Boom_God_s_Man |title=Father Ten Boom: God's Man |publisher=Fleming H. Revell Co., Old Tappen, New Jersey: 1978}}</ref> Like his father, he lived and worked in the same building, with the shop on the ground floor and living quarters on the two floors above.<ref name=museum /> He and Cor had five children, four of whom survived to adulthood: Elisabeth "Betsie" (1885-1944), Willem (21 November 1886 - 13 December 1946), Arnolda Johanna "Nollie" (1890 - 22 October 1953), and Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" (1892-1983)). Another child, Hendrick Jan (12 September 1888 - 6 March 1889), died in infancy. Casper's wife died in 1921 from a stroke.

While Willem and Nollie both married and moved away, Ten Boom lived with his two unmarried daughters Betsie and Corrie in their home and watchmaking workshop.<ref name=museum /> The Ten Boom family were members of the [[Protestant]] [[Dutch Reformed Church]].<ref name="Corrie">[http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10006914 "Corrie ten Boom"], ''United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Encyclopedia''</ref>

== Activities during the Occupation ==
The Ten Boom family were devout and generous Christians. According to ''[[The Hiding Place (book)|The Hiding Place]]'', in 1918 the family took in the first of many foster children that they would shelter over the years. Corrie ran special church services for disabled children for 20 years. The Dutch Reformed Church "protested Nazi persecution of Jews as an injustice to fellow human beings and an affront to divine authority."<ref name="Corrie"/> The Ten Boom family strongly believed that people were equal before God.

During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Ten Boom and his daughters became active in sheltering Jewish people who were trying to escape the Nazis at their home. In May 1942, a woman came to the house and asked for help. She said she was a Jew, that her husband had been arrested several months before, and her son had gone into hiding. As Occupation authorities had visited her, she was afraid to return home. She had heard that the family had helped other Jews, and asked if she could stay with them; to which Casper agreed. He believed that all people were equal before God and told her, "In this household, God's people are always welcome." When the [[Nazis]] began requiring all Jews to wear the [[Yellow badge|Star of David]], he voluntarily wore one also.<ref name=Dave>[http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Book-Christian-Heroes-Courageous/dp/0842334858 The Complete Book of Christian Heroes: Over 200 Stories of Courageous People]</ref> His son Willem, a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church, also worked in an non-denominational nursing home. During the occupation, he sheltered many Jews there to save them from the Nazis.<ref name="Corrie"/>

== Arrest and death ==
On 28 February 1944 the Gestapo raided his house and arrested Ten Boom and his daughters, as well his son Willem and third daughter, and a nephew, who were visiting. The Gestapo arrested other supporters who visited the house during the day, taking a total of about 30 people to Scheveningen prison.<ref name="Corrie"/>

When Ten Boom was interrogated in prison, the [[Gestapo]] told him they would release him because of his age so that he could "die in his own bed". He replied: "If I go home today, tomorrow I will open my door to anyone who knocks for help".<ref name=Dave /> When asked if he knew he could die for helping Jews, he replied, "It would be an honor to give my life for God's chosen people."<ref name=museum>[http://www.corrietenboom.com/history.htm Corrie ten Boom museum - history]</ref> On 10 March Casper died at the Hague Municipal Hospital, at the age of 84, after ten days in Scheveningen prison.

His daughter Betsie died at Ravensbruck in December 1944. His son Willem contracted spinal [[tuberculosis]] (TB) while imprisoned for his resistance work. Although he was released, he died of TB shortly after the war. Ten Boom's nephew Christiaan, then 24, was sent to the [[Bergen Belsen]] concentration camp for his work in the underground, and died there during the war.<ref name=museum/>

==Honors==
The Ten Boom Museum in Haarlem, operated in their former house, honors all the family.
In 2008, he was honored by [[Yad Vashem]] as one of the [[Righteous Among the Nations]].

Born and raised in the provincial capital city of [[Middelburg]], he spent his childhood summers in [[Domburg]] due to his fragile health.

Though writing was never his sole profession–he studied at [[Delft University of Technology]] and became an [[civil engineer|engineer]]–he produced over fifteen [[short stories]] and [[novellas]] over a period of thirteen years, before abruptly giving up writing at the age of 35.

In 2001, Fanning was chosen to star opposite [[Sean Penn]] in the movie ''[[I Am Sam]]'', the story of a [[mental retardation|mentally challenged]] man who fights for the custody of his daughter (played by Fanning). Her role in the film made Fanning the youngest person ever to be nominated for a [[Screen Actors Guild]] Award, being seven years of age at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sagawards.org/history_8 |title=History of the 8th SAG Awards | Screen Actors Guild Awards |publisher=Sagawards.org |date=2002-03-10 |accessdate=2010-04-06}}{{dead link|date=August 2010}}</ref> She also won the Best Young Actor/Actress award from the [[Broadcast Film Critics Association]] for her performance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bfca.org/ccawards/2001.php |title=The BFCA Critics' Choice Awards :: 2001 |publisher=Bfca.org |date= |accessdate=2010-04-06}}</ref>

In 2002, director [[Steven Spielberg]] cast Fanning in the lead child role of Allison "Allie" Clarke/Keys in the [[science fiction]] [[miniseries]] ''[[Taken (TV miniseries)|Taken]]''. By this time, she had received positive notices by several film critics, including Tom Shales of ''[[The Washington Post]]'', who wrote that Fanning "has the perfect sort of otherworldly look about her, an enchanting young actress called upon ... to carry a great weight."<ref name="post">{{cite web | publisher=The Washington Post via virtuallystrange.net | title=Sci Fi's 'Taken' Grabs You and Doesn't Let Go | url=http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/updates/2002/dec/m03-004.shtml | accessdate=2006-03-13 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20041217113715/http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/updates/2002/dec/m03-004.shtml |archivedate =2004-12-17}}</ref> In the same year, Fanning appeared in three films: as a kidnap victim who proves to be more than her abductors bargained for in ''[[Trapped (2002 film)|Trapped]]'', as the young version of [[Reese Witherspoon]]'s character in ''[[Sweet Home Alabama (film)|Sweet Home Alabama]]'', and as Katie in the movie ''[[Hansel and Gretel (2002 film)|Hansel and Gretel]]''.

A year later, she starred in two prominent films: playing the uptight child to an immature nanny played by [[Brittany Murphy]] in ''[[Uptown Girls]]'' and as Sally in ''[[The Cat in the Hat (film)|The Cat in the Hat]]''. In addition, Fanning did [[voice-over]] work for four [[animation|animated]] projects during this period, including voicing Satsuki in [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]'s [[English language]] release of ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'', a little girl in the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] series ''[[Family Guy]]'', and a young [[Wonder Woman]] in an episode of [[Cartoon Network]]'s ''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]''.

In 2004, Fanning appeared in ''[[Man on Fire (2004 film)|Man on Fire]]'' as Pita, a nine-year-old who wins over the heart of a retired [[mercenary]] ([[Denzel Washington]]) hired to protect her from kidnappers.

''[[Hide and Seek (2005 film)|Hide and Seek]]'' was her first release in 2005, opposite [[Robert De Niro]].

She then went directly to the set of ''[[War of the Worlds (2005 film)|War of the Worlds]]'', starring alongside [[Tom Cruise]]. Released in reverse order (''War'' in June 2005 and ''Dreamer'' in the following October), both films were a critical success.
