Die Besatzung und der niederländische Widerstand
Das Niederländische Widerstandsmuseum in Amsterdam ist der Widerstandsbewegung in den Niederlanden während des Zweiten Weltkriegs gewidmet. Gleich nachdem die Deutschen im Mai 1940 Rotterdam bombardiert hatten, kapitulierten die Niederländer und die Nazis übernahmen die Straßen des Landes. Die Menschen wurden vor die Wahl gestellt: Kooperieren wir und tun genau das, was die Deutschen sagen, schließen wir uns den Nazis an und helfen ihnen oder schließen wir uns der Widerstandsbewegung an?
Diesen Fragen wird im Museum nachgegangen. Das Niederländische Widerstandsmuseum fängt das Lebensgefühl während des Zweiten Weltkrieges ein, indem es das Leben von Menschen zeigt, die unterschiedliche Entscheidungen trafen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf dem Widerstand liegt. Diese oft äußerst gefährliche Wahl machte die Menschen sehr kreativ, um die Nazis zu bekämpfen und Juden und anderen Gruppen von Menschen zu helfen, die gejagt wurden.
Holland im Zweiten Weltkrieg
Die Dauerausstellung des Museums versetzt die Besucher zurück in die vierziger Jahre, die Zeit der deutschen Besatzung während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Die Säle und Wände, die die Einrichtung des Niederländischen Widerstandsmuseums ausmachen, sind voll mit Fotos, die die Kriegsjahre wieder heraufbeschwören. Ein Großteil der Sammlung besteht aus Artefakten, die aus dem persönlichen Besitz von Mitgliedern der Widerstandsbewegung stammen.
Die Ausstellung deckt alle Formen des Widerstands ab: Streiks, Fälschung von Dokumenten, Hilfe beim Untertauchen, Untergrundzeitungen, Fluchtwege, bewaffneten Widerstand und Spionage. Zu sehen sind versteckte Waffen, gefälschte Ausweise, Schreibmaschinen, auf denen verschlüsselte Nachrichten getippt wurden, sowie Schachbretter mit geheimen Fächern.
Lernen Sie mehr darüber, wie das Leben im Widerstand war und wie der Alltag der Menschen aussah, die sich zur Kooperation entschlossen. Welche Einschränkungen wurden ihnen durch die Besatzung auferlegt und warum entschieden sich einige von ihnen schlussendlich doch dazu, sich dem Widerstand anzuschließen? Ein weiterer Teil des Museums beschäftigt sich mit dem niederländischen Kolonialreich, den Niederländisch-Ostindischen Inseln während des Krieges, wo die Bevölkerung damals unter dem japanischen Regime litt.

Sehr gutes Museum
Ein interessantes Museum, welches das Thema gut aufbereitet. Man kann das Museum auch mit jüngeren Kindern besuchen, da es einen extra Teil nur für Kinder gibt. In diesem werden die Informationen kindsgerecht aufbereitet.
Das Museum, das den Horizont erweitert...
Wir haben das Museum Ende Mai 2o24 besucht. Das Team am Eingang (Kasse/Garderobe) war äußerst freundlich und mit großem Interesse haben wir die Ausstellung angeschaut: Sehr schön, daß es zu den jeweiligen Zeitabschnitten eine Gesamtübersicht gibt, die sich danach in einzelne Blickwinkel aufteilt. Mittels Audio-Guide war es kein Problem, die Videos oder Texte (Engl./Niederl.) auch auf Deutsch zu hören. Besonders hat uns die objektive Darstellung dieser schwierigen Zeit gefallen, gerade wenn man daran denkt, was Deutschland hier den Niederlanden angetan hat. Aber da hat man beim Ausstellungskonzept auch sehr darauf geachtet, hier und da die Deutschen darzustellen, die etwas Humanität gezeigt haben. Dieses Museum mit seiner Ausstellung hat uns sehr überzeugt und können es nur sehr weiterempfehlen. Es erweitert den Horizont und ordnet Anne Frank auch sehr gut in einen Gesamtkontext ein.
Schön aufbereitet
Das museum ist sehr schön, modern, sauber und interessant. Es dauert zwar eher 2-3h und man muss sich nicht unbedingt jede einzelne Geschichte durchlesen aber die Führung gibt einen tollen Einblick und zeigt viele verschiedene Perspektiven und Lebensrealitäten.
Absolut sehenswert, aber bitte Zeit einplanen
Wir sind heute im Museum gewesen. Eine absolute Empfehlung. Die Ausstellung ist toll aufbereitet und gestaltet. Man folgt der Geschichte des Wiederstands in den Niederlanden von 1940 bis 1945. Audio Guides gibt es in sehr vielen Sprachen. Man sollte unbedingt Zeit einplanen. Wir waren nur etwas über anderthalb Stunden vor Ort, da das Museum dann geschlossen hat. Man sollte jedoch besser 2-3 Stunden einplanen. Auch mit Kindern und Jugendlichen lohnt der Besuch. Ein Ausstellungsbereich stellt die Lebenswirklichkeit von vier Kindern / Jugendlichen dar. Der Nachwuchs sollten jedoch Englisch oder Niederländisch verstehen.
Unbedingt besuchen
Sehr informativ und umfangreiches Material. Wichtig: wir haben uns wirklich alles angeschaut und angehört und haben dafür 3h benötigt (statt der 1-2h die als grobe Zeitplanung angegeben sind). Lohnt sich aber auf jedenfall.
A Must See in Amsterdam
Perhaps one of the finest museums I have ever visited. Few people know the story of the Dutch Resistance to the German occupying forces in WWII. The exhibits are amazingly helpful and thoughtfully done. The English translation is spot on. One of the highlights is a 'kids' area that depicts the story of the Resistance through the eyes of children. If you go to Amsterdam, this must be on your itinerary.
Educational and very moving
Took my teenage daughter to this, as a history student she loved it. A very personal testament to those people who lived through a very tragic period of history in the Netherlands. What made it good was the audio and lots of interactive elements, together with the people, their stories, their bravery
Great Historical Perspective
Please don't miss this museum when visiting Amsterdam. It provides the Dutch perspective on the 5 year occupation of the Netherlands and Amsterdam by the Nazis. And it tells the story of the bravery of some of the Dutch people who stood up to the Nazis. Excellent museum.
Impressive museum, must see for every age
Impressive storytelling/museuem and a very well developed section for children. Stories told by different kids and different view points. A must see for everyone interested in history and as a remembrance to all the people sufferer in a stupid war.
Highly recommend!
Absolutely fabulous museum! Hand held devices to listen to all the information at each display in your own language, were brilliant. The silence in the museum as a result is actually quite moving and so respectful. 3-4 hours spent. Total eye-opener to the experiences and suffering and resistance of the Dutch people during the Nazi occupation. Highly recommend!
Well worth a visit if interested in Ww2 history
Really interesting and interactive museum. Well laid out and the write ups around the building about the artefacts are really well written.
Fascinating
Was not expecting this to be as big as it was, but it is so full of information and stories, you could easily spend all day here.
Great WW2 Info
We are WW2 buffs and made a point to walk to this museum and see its displays…they were excellent. Make sure you take your time and read the information attached to each window. They have done a great job helping you see the lives of these brave souls that fought the Nazis in WW2.
Excellent - highly recommended
This museum was at the top of my must-do list for Amsterdam, and it was fantastic. The displays and accompanying audio were excellent. I was so engrossed in seeing and hearing everything that my sister (who is more of a museum person than I am) abandoned me and went back to our rental accommodation. This museum serves a critical role in providing a record of history that should never be repeated.
Interesting museum.
This is a great museum and learnt a lot about times in the Netherlands during Nazi occupation. The audio sets are well worth using and easy to use. Learnt a lot about how difficult this period was for people - how going into hiding was such a challenge - and a great prequel to our visit to the Anne Frank house the following day. Highly recommend and well worth the money.
Utterly absorbing
Utterly absorbing museum about the Dutch Resistance during WWII. As described, the story is told through over 100 individual stories that made the collective. The stories and people cover all walks of life and every aspect of resisting an evil force. Truly a testament to individual courage spread across an oppressed society. Plan to spend 2-3 hours.
Don't Miss the Verzetsmuseum
I am so happy that I decided to go to this incredible museum on my last day in Amsterdam. In fact, I ended up spending two hours instead of the one I had intended simply to read carefully and view all the well-documented information. The audio speakers were easy to use and added to my visit. Thank you.
Totally Recommend, brilliant experience
If you have any interest in history and especially World War 2 then this place is a must see when you are in Amsterdam. I got completely lost in all of the audio stories and learned so much in my 2 hours there.
Informative
Best use of Audio ever. Extremely well done. Amount of information shared seemed perfect. Certainly a motivator for all Americans to resist Trump
A great leap into History
An extraordinary immersion that teaches us a lot about resistance. Women and colonies are also highlighted, which is worth noting. Very informative, for the whole family!
Super experience
Musee tres interessant, tres didactique avec audioguide en français ce qui est un reel atout. Le musee est tres bien organisé et j ai bcp appris sur les pays bas durant la 2nde gm Je recommande vivement!!!!
Moving and well presented
Extremely informative and presented in an engaging manner, I left with a connection of mixed emotions, including anger at man's cruelty and upset by the suffering inflicted. If you're into WW2 history well worth a trip, left me thinking about things from different angles. Probably not five stars, but based on some of the comments on the low scoring reviews felt I needed to give five stars.
A must see
You need a good 2 hours to look around this museum. Learn about the Dutch Resistance and why so many joined them. Find out about those who betrayed them and all about the difficulties they endured during occupation.
Indrukwekkend
Schitterende en duidelijke opmaak van het museum. Je krijgt een aangrijpend historisch verhaal! Een echte aanrader!
Resistance museum
Fantastic museum with a real insight to the struggles of occupation in the war. Journey through the museum filled with interesting exhibits and backed up by excellent audio commentary system available in multiple languages. Well worth the visit
Experience the Dutch resistance
From the friendly welcome at the front desk to the exceptional narratives of the featured Dutch resistance fighters of WW2 occupation, this museum earned high praise. You’ll be drawn in to the intimate lives of those people along with some who turned out to be rats! One if the best museums!
Superb Portrayal of Dutch World War II Resistance
The Resistance museum is located in the Plantage area of Amsterdam. It’s just over a mile on foot from Centraal station and I took a pleasant stroll along Oosterdok to get there. I had previously visited the museum several years ago and enjoyed my visit then very much. It has subsequently been refurbished and is even better than before. The bravery of the resistance fighters producing clandestine newspapers and their opposition to their Nazi oppressors is well documented. I was interested to see how the NSB collaborated with the Nazis and the price they paid when liberation finally came. The awful famine in 1944/45 is well portrayed with the population going out into the countryside begging for food. There are numerous video displays from those who managed to survive the occupation and their tales were harrowing. I enjoyed the section relating to Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia, Suriname and several Caribbean islands. The war ended up being a catalyst for these countries to gain eventual independence. I spent a couple of hours here and the admission fee was €16.
Join the resistance!
Very in depth look at Dutch resistance efforts 1940-1945, including a new look at the Dutch colonial experience during 1940-1945 with Japanese occupation (Indonesia) and US occupation (Dutch Caribbean islands), and a fantastic children’s museum on this difficult topic. Considering 75% of Dutch Jews perished in the Holocaust compared to lower percentages of 25% of French Jews, 40% of Belgian Jews, 40% of Norwegian Jews, and less than 2% of Danish Jews who perished nearby, I was hoping for a deeper explanation of why the Dutch Resistance had a more difficult time saving its Jewish citizens from Nazi invaders. I did learn a ton about conscripted Dutch men forced into labor camps, that The Netherlands was neutral in WWI, the terrible Winter Famine of 1944-1945, as well as organized underground journalists, brave resistance fighters, and Radio Orange which was all impressive. Great job making a lot of information interesting as personal accounts. Loved the multilingual audio tour options as well!
As good a resistance museum as you will find in Europe
The fact that I spent 2 2/2 hours in this museum is testament to the gripping nature of the content.So much to see and read and absorb.I felt a bit exhausted by the time I had finished.
Exceptional!
This is an absolutely exceptional museum. I would say this was by far the best thing we done in Amsterdam! The exhibitions were superb, filled with detail and the audio guides really brought it all to life. The museum was unbiased and balanced, looking at the second world war from all aspects of the dutch population. Everything was done in a dignified and thoughtful manner. Our visit took us around 2 hours. I am a bit of a history buff but I definitely learnt a lot of new things. It really enhanced the rest of our visit to Amsterdam, imagining the things we had learnt at the museum actually happening on streets around us.
A deeply moving experience that explores the dilemmas faced by ordinary people in WW2
What a fabulous experience ! If you have any interest in WW2 or the Resistance you are in for a treat. Exceptionally good displays with sections for children (which are excellent) and about Indonesia. Make sure to pick up the (free) audio device after paying as it gives you the audio for the multiple videos; in addition it allows you to hear instead of reading the explanation of the numerous exhibits. A great way to spend 2-3 hours. In addition to historical information, there are numerous personal stories which makes the history come to life.
In depth and revealing look at an important time
Very well presented museum, using testimony of people who were in Amsterdam during the occupation. The free audio guide was superb. A very thought-provoking visit, combines well with the equally good Anne Frank museum. It illustrates the complexity of the situation faced by civilians, who had to make choices which could have meant life or death. We spent over 3 hours, you won’t do it justice in less than 2.
A must-see museum
A stunning museum highlighting the occupation years and the resistance within that attempted to fight back against the nazi rule. This museum is thoughtfully laid out with excellent exhibits, lots of great videos for context and a well-functioning audio guide system and is well worth a visit for anyone interested in the subject.
Indrukwekkend!
Indrukwekkende verhalen. Zeker een aanrader bij een bezoek aan Amsterdam. Ook aan kinderen is gedacht door een junior tentoonstelling.
A must for History lovers!!!
If you like History and especially WW2, then this is the place to visit if you have 1.5 hours to kill. From start to finish the exhibits and audio tour were superb and so informative. This place deserves more of a place amongst the great attractions in Amsterdam.
Great visit
This was a great visit. Very informative and easy to navigate for all ages. The free audio guide is amazing and really easy to use. We learned lots of interesting facts.
Indrukwekkende must-see!
Dit museum geeft met persoonlijke verhalen een uitgebreid en indringend overzicht van de Tweede Wereldoorlog in Nederland. Het speciale deel voor kinderen is fantastisch opgezet: kinderen kunnen met een vragenboekje en interactieve opdrachten aan de hand van de levens van echte oorlogskinderen vanuit verschillende gezichtspunten leren hoe het leven in de oorlog was, en dat in mooi nagebouwde huiskamers met bijzondere voorwerpen. Een aanrader!
Essential Dutch History
To fully understand the impact on the Netherlands people during World War Two, it is essential that you and your family take a few hours out of your trip to visit this excellent museum. The collection of artefacts and stories are arranged perfectly to guide you through from the beginning right through the turbulent and horrific years of the war and liberation. There is a good mix of static, interactive, and immersive displays that you can listen to in your prefered language with a headset. It is humbling to think that so many civilians were able to find the strength and incredible courage to help anyway they could during the war. The array of ways the Dutch resisted the German occupation was varied, but all activities put them at a serious risk of capture or death. Young women smuggling resistance newspapers under aacks of potatoes on their bikes past German troops, families hiding people in their cellars, people making fake ids, etc. You are left wondering, "Would I have the courage to do the same if I were in the same situation?"
Must do Museum in Amsterdam
this museum is in my opinion an absolute must visit whilst in Amsterdam, especially for those with an interest in WW2. The museum is expansive and highly detailed, and though we spent 3 hours there, we easily could have been there for longer. The staff at the front desk are also very lovely and helpful.
Onverwachts groot en goed opgezet museum
Ik verwachte een uur voor dit museum nodig te hebben, maar uiteindelijk bijna 3 uur binnengeweest. Zeer goede audiotour en zeer informatief. Zeer modern en interactief museum.
So much to learn
Very enlightening. I’d not thought about how the war would affect so many people on so many levels and how divisive it would be. So much information and very well organised. Highly recommended and allow a few hours.
Bezoek waard!
We hebben alleen de junior versie gedaan. Was erg leuk voor onze 11 jarige zoon (en voor ons). Mooie verhalen van kinderen nemen je mee naar de oorlogsjaren. Indrukwekkend, neem ruim de tijd! Kleine aanbevelingen: geluid van de de diverse interactieve zaken stoort soms bij grotere drukte (meer hoofdtelefoons zou beter werken) De slotfilm (volwassen hoofdpersonen) duurt lang, waardoor doorstroming stokt. Is het een optie om dit later thuis te bekijken? Conclusie: een erg mooi museum voor kids. Zeker een bezoek waard!
visite musée de la résistance
Musée top! Très intéressent et très complet. Pas le temps de s’ennuyer. Personnel très accueillant. Tarif étudiant avantageux
Museum of the Dutch resistance during WW2
Spent 2 hours in this museum and need at least another hour. Free audio guide is a must with so many recorded stories. We thought this museum was a great find and well worth visiting. Totally recommend
What a very good museum
What a very good museum. We went with our 5 year old daughter and we all learnt a lot. As well was what you would expect for adults, they had a kids section at the back that told the stories of 4 children. It was very interesting and got our daughter involved. The only downside and the reason for not giving this experience full marks is that the digital devices to listen to the stories throughout the museum didn't always work. I had to replace mine a couple of times and still the issue remained. The staff were very friendly and did mention that this was a new thing and they are having some teething problems. But still, it did dampen the experience a little.
Amazing museum experience
Visited this brilliant museum dedicated to the brave, resilient and courageous Dutch people during the Nazi occupation in WW2. It’s on the edge of the city, cafes and bars around for drink or food. Allow at least 2 hours if you want to see and appreciate the true stories being shared. An audio system in various languages is provided with the ticket price, also there are books available for purchase. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Happy to recommend and should we return to Amsterdam would pay another visit.
A must for anyone interested in understanding the various impacts of WWII
This museum provides an in depth understanding of what life was like for the residents of Amsterdam during the German occupation of WWII. It accomplishes this by presenting the personal experiences of those who lived through this occupation. For those seeking to understand the impacts of war on civilians, I highly recommend visiting this museum. Dr. Richard J. Chacon - Anthropologist.
Absolutely amazing
One of the bests museums we visited in Amsterdam. If you are interested in Nazi occupation and WWII history, even if you are slightly interested, this museum will be a good choice. Full of witnesses, original elements and even a zone for kids with interactive lessons. I greatly recommend a visit.
A most interesting Museum
This was a superb museum telling detailed stories of Dutch resistance. It was designed around stories of individuals who resisted in many different ways. Found the audio a little intermittent - reading the stories seemed to work better. Great film footage around the museum as well. Excellent value for money. Tip : If fully interested, allow at least two hours to see it all. In addition, the less knowledgeable would get more value by visiting the Anne Franck House first.
Well worth the time!
Glad we had time to visit this outstanding museum. The audioguide is essential and really brings the stories to life. The stories of resistance during WWII were very moving and well told. Loved the interactivity, the way critical components were examined (e.g., propaganda, the tools of resistance, individual impacts, etc.). Short films were all very informative and well done. Thank you. Wish this museum had a traveling exhibit that could find its way to the USA.
