The weekly De Nieuwe Amsterdammer was founded by Henri Wiessing in 1915. Wiessing had been fired as editor of the Groene Amsterdammer because his views were too radical. He refused to comply with the Dutch government's request to newspapers to censor publications about the war in order not to endanger the country's neutrality. With the Nieuwe Amsterdammer, Wiessing wanted to show the reality and horror of the war to the readers by means of strongly critical texts and illustrations. Every week, a large cartoon appeared on the front page of the supplement.
