It is informative and done with empathy.'

Having Visited Yad Vashem in Jeruzalem, the Holocaust Museum in Vilna,
Lithiuania, the Soah Museum in Nottingham, U.K. and others I can truly
say that this exhibition details better than anywhere the banality of
evil, with use of original footage + material. The Holocaust was no
plaque or beast, this was a planed decission carried out by men/women
against other men/women. Would I have resisted in those conditions? Not
anyone can answer that question.

'The Verzetsmuseum was a highlight of my visit to Amsterdam. The small 
artifacts,the historical descriptions, the well designed graphics and 
the music all contributed to a very moving and worthwhile 
experience.  In sum the museum is a tribute to the indomitable spirit 
of the Dutch people and their legendary efforts to save those 
persecuted by the Nazis. This is a particularly good exhibition for 
High School students.'

Jon Haber, San Francisco

'A well displayed and informative approach to such a touching subject.
This tells others about what happend in Netherland and touches another places I have heard. (…)
Touching and informative.'

'Fascinating exhibition. So important we don’t forget those who died and those who resisted.
Only by understanding and learning from our pasts we can hope to have a future in which we are not persecuted on any grounds (religion, race, sexual orientation) .
Unfortunately, we still have a lot of learning to do.'

Annemarie Railly, Scotland

'Thank you. I really enjoyed this exhibit. I though it was amazing how many authentic objects you have. I always believed, and this exhibit confirmed my belief, that when people are oppressed, no matter how, they will always find a way to resist.'
Mike Glass, USA

'Emotionally exhausing- I cried several times. I knew a lot about the era but seeing it on the fact as it were, really bring it home to you- the realitiy of it.
Should be a required visit if visiting amsterdam. Thank you for a inspiring and thought provoking museum.'

'This is my fourth visit and each time I take away something new. It is important to the Dutch experience that I and many others keep coming back. Many stories here allow me to take strength from human experience under trying times.'
Paul Mc Carthy, Scotland

'Very impressive and moving, you can feel from this exhibition the pain and suffer they had in the second world war.'
Yedida Gabbay, Israel
