    • Aan de hand van foto’s, documenten, brieven en gesprekken met nakomelingen schetst Hans Keller de geschiedenis van een groep om hun geloof vervolgde Amsterdamse middenstanders. In 1847 emigreerde de groep onder leiding van dominee Hendrik Peter Scholte naar de VS. In Iowa stichtten zij het prairiestadje Pella.
