Witness the history of Dutch resistance to German occupation during World War II at Verzetsmuseum Amsterdam. This site tells the story of the Netherlands and its people from May 1940 to May 1945, when Nazi forces occupied the country. Discover the museum's permanent exhibit, which recreates everyday life for Dutch people in the 1930s and 1940s. Experience the feeling of walking down German-occupied streets in the Netherlands, and learn about small acts of resistance and larger historical moments of opposition during this time. Every country has its own piece of World War II history to share, and this museum is a wonderful place to learn about the Dutch perspective.

  • A really nice museum, I wasn't expecting to have so much to learn. I read somewhere you could easily visit it in 2 hours but I'd say something between 3/4 hours is the ideal. We couldn't see everything as much as we'd like because of it. It has a lot of interactive points. Can only recommend it!
  • Fantastic exhibition, however it doesn’t give credit to Eleanor Roosevelt’s contributions to the Declaration of Human Rights in the decolonization conclusion. That was my only con, but the resistance was very broad and only 1/3 of the Dutch collaborators were prosecuted for aiding the German occupation. Fears of racism are still present in Dutch culture. Particularly within law enforcement and fire fighting circles who refuse to answer the cries of help from minority communities. This particular group is called the Brotherhood. Viva La resistance!
