Between
Despair and Hope

The generation from the 1980s is called 
“Between Despair and Hope”. For example, 
getting a steady job became more and more 
difficult for young people in Europe, which 
sometimes created a form of despair. 
But young people still represent hope 
for a better future.

Did you 
know? 
What is ‘Punk’?

It is a young person 
who rejects society 
and wants its 
rejection to be visible. 
To do this, they wear 
dark clothes that they 

customise themselves by adding 
zippers or chains; they wear hair 
styled in spikes and listen to or 
play very loud music. They say:  
‘If there is no future, 
why not simply have fun?’

In America, people started to make panels to
commemorate a partner, a friend, or a family 
member that died from AIDS. The panels are 
sewn together to form a block. Thousands of 
such blocks altogether made up the AIDS 
Memorial Quilt. The idea also came to Europe 
and this quilt block is part of the Dutch AIDS
Memorial Quilt.

Find the 
missing parts 
and reassemble 
the quilt block.
Watch out, there is one 
element too many

Look for the photo 
of Stefan on the quilt block.

Did you 
know? 
Every year on December 
1st people wear a red 
ribbon for World AIDS Day.  
On this day we remember people 
who have died from the illness 
and support people living 
with the condition today.

Stefan died from AIDS. There was no cure 
      for this illness in the 1980s. Fortunately 
             today we have medicine that controls 
                                  the virus that causes AIDS.
