The WW2 museum for Amsterdam in an area surrounded by history. It was fascinating for somone whose Mother was a Hunger Winter victim. Some of my collecables are on display!

Fantastic museum. The Junior part is incredibly well done and really interesting for both children and adults. I love that they included the perspective of both sides.

Great museum about the WW2 resistance movement in the Netherlands. The audio guide is free but has a few technical hiccups.
