Keeping hold of the main thread
Start with the transition from occupation to liberation. See how the presentation connects events to places and people. A clear main thread helps you understand individual objects without knowing every detail in advance.
Many kinds of stories
The Jewish community in Zeeland and Dutch and German perspectives are part of the subject. War volunteers who went to the Dutch East Indies also receive attention. Read carefully where a personal testimony begins and where the museum provides wider context.
Allow enough time
The collection covers a wide range of material and calls for choices. Do not plan a full tour just before closing: last admission is at four o’clock. The winter schedule has considerably fewer visiting days than the summer season, and Sunday is not a regular opening day.
Before you go
Check the summer or winter schedule and last admission. Groups wishing to visit outside the regular days must make arrangements in advance.
