The story

Story · Het onderduikershol 1942-1945

  • en
  • nl

You're standing in the Valtherbos woods, between Valthe and Emmen, at the hideout hole. In front of you is a pit in the forest floor, covered with logs and branches. It looks like a simple shelter, but during the Second World War, Jewish people lived hidden underground right here.
