You take a journey through history. From the rise of fascism and Nazism, to the outbreak of World War II. From invading German troops, to the persecution of Jews, the resistance and liberation. You will read personal stories and discover silent witnesses of the war on Zeeland soil. You will find them in the halls of the museum but also outside, in the Liberation Park Zeeland that surrounds the museum.
During your tour you will see what brings about violence of war, both among soldiers and among the civilian population. Their misery, pain, fear and sorrow are still palpable, upon seeing the many photographs and reading and listening to their testimonies. You will also get acquainted with the war experiences of the merchant and Dutch sailors, who were deployed to the Dutch East Indies after the Second World War.
