Different sides of the war
The collection description mentions occupation, collaboration, resistance, persecution and liberation. Together, these subjects make clear that the museum does not deal solely with military events, but also with people’s experiences and choices.
A story has sources
Objects, photographs, documents and recorded stories are part of the collection described. In a presentation, notice what kind of source you are looking at. A personal memory and an administrative document each offer their own way into the subject.
The Frisian angle
The main presentation links the subject to the inhabitants of Friesland. The museum also mentions the raid on the Huis van Bewaring (remand prison) in Leeuwarden as a theme. Follow the explanation of such events and keep a distinction between what an object shows and what additional sources tell you.
