Memorial Plaquette 7 mei 1945 in Amsterdam

You're standing on Dam Square, in front of the Royal Palace. On 7 May 1945, this square was one big party. The war in the Netherlands was over, and Amsterdam was waiting for the Canadian liberators. Thousands of people were dancing here, to the music of a barrel organ called Het Snotneusje. But the city was still full of armed German troops, and the Dutch resistance fighters were walking around armed as well.
