The museum shows how people lived and what they did during the war. The War Resistance Museum is a treasure trove of information and stuff from the years of German occupation. You can find anything there, from cigar boxes to Jewish stars and from announcements to resistance gear. Al these materials are witness to a dark period in the history of Rotterdam, but are displayed in an as fun and informative way possible. The War Resistance Museum organizes themed afternoons that are absolutely worth the effort to visit. The second world war is an event that is never allowed to be forgotten, and a visit to the War Resistance Museum is a great help to that!
