Story pending

My great grandparents were originally from the Netherlands and moved here after WW2. My grandfather has a couple of dolls that are from there. These dolls are not a big cultural thing but more symbolic. They represent what they left behind and what life could have been like if they stayed. I personally think the doll is a nice keepsake and is a nice thing to have. I'm pretty sure it was something my great grandma used to have and play with when she was little. After she got married she kept it and used it as a decoration. The kind of thing that a grandma would have on a shelf. When they eventually migrated they took it with them, and my grandpa still has it to this day
