Sometimes its hard to visualize what the people went through during the 2nd World War. This museum brings it to life in a way no other museum does. We make it a point to visit these museums so we dont forget what happens when intolerance and ignorance run rampant and this place is among the best at accomplishing this. They... More

This is a wonderful little museum away from all the noise of Amsterdam. We walked from our hotel and that in itself was pleasant. So much history about a part of the war that often isn't discussed in America. We are history buffs so we were really moved by the experience. Bought some fascinating reads.

Amsterdam has a unique perspective on surviving the war, and you'll learn all about it here. I would recommend grabbing an English audio guide, but it's not entirely necessary. I would say this is a key part of any trip to Amsterdam. We were only there for a day and a half, but you really should squeeze it in.

Well displayed and very moving. You will need some tissues as you read the harrowing events the people of Amsterdam had to endure!

Took me 2.5 hours to look at... More

It tells the story of the rise of Nazi-ism in the Netherlands, and then the Nazi occupation, year by year,... More

This museum gave a chronological account of the events from 1940 to1945 and definitely broaden my understanding of that period of... More

This museum offers a powerful and detailed historical account of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands and the efforts that brave Dutch citizens took to forestall or counteract the Nazi atrocities. The story is portrayed in chronological order so that you can better understand the course of events. At first, life went on more or less as usual, even though... More
