Local war history comes to life during Open Jewish Homes – Houses of Resistance

From April 29 to May 5, storytellers and residents share stories in houses where Jews or resistance fighters lived and worked before, during and just after World War II. What is special is that as a visitor you are a guest in these houses and listen in the intimate setting of the living room or kitchen to the personal, moving and often remarkable histories that took place behind a front door somewhere in the Netherlands.

18 cities
Open Jewish Homes – Houses of Resistance will take place in 2023 in Amsterdam, Assen, Bergen op Zoom, Borculo, The Hague, Deventer, Emmen, Gorinchem, Gouda, Groningen, Haarlem, Hoorn, Nijmegen, Steenwijk, Utrecht, Wageningen, Winterswijk and Zaanstad.
