School visit

One of the major objectives of the museum is to provide today's youth with a clear picture of events in the period 1930 to 1945. In order to make the visit more effective, the museum has developed a hand-out for pupils in upper primary and lower secondary education which covers the following topics:

• The emergence of the National Socialism 1918 - 1939
• The beginning of World War II
• Occupation of the Netherlands
• Concentration Camps
• Liberation
• Operation Market Garden
• The railway strike and the Hunger Winter
• The end of World War II

There are also a number of questions / tasks that rely on pupils to work independently. If you would like to receive a copy of the hand-out, please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The tours are given by expert guides. With relation to the subject matter, the school can indicate in advance which aspects should receive special attention. Special programs can be prepared on request. The tour duration is approximately 2 hours.

The museum would like reservations 4 weeks in advance.
