Discover the Verzetsmuseum (Dutch Resistance Museum) in the heart of Amsterdam and step back in time to the era of war, dictatorship, persecution and resistance. Here you will uncover the impressive history behind the difficult choices that the Dutch had to make during the dark days of the German occupation in the Second World War.
The museum also sheds light on the significant changes brought about by World War II in the former Dutch colonies of Indonesia, Suriname, and the Dutch Caribbean islands, as well as the aftermath of the war, with stories about decolonization and the lasting impact of the colonial past up to the present day.
More than 130 powerful, personal stories challenge you to reflect on what you would do in these extreme and challenging circumstances. They provide insights into the value of tolerance, freedom, self-determination and democracy.
