Activities & Tours

Amsterdam

The Dutch Resistance Museum is dedicated to the resistance movement in the Netherlands during World War II. Right after the Germans bombed Rotterdam in May 1940, the Dutch surrendered and Nazi’s took over the streets of the country. People were faced with a choice: do we cooperate and do exactly what the Germans say, do we join the Nazi’s and help them or do we join the resistance movement?

The exhibition is in both English and Dutch, making it accessible to most visitors. There is also a free audio tour which is offered in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
