Freedom of Choice, what would you do?
At six Freedom of Choice Outdoor Exhibitions, you can discover the personal stories of residents from the Rivierengebied during the Second World War. Each story reveals the choices and dilemmas they faced during that time.
Read their stories and experience the Second World War through the eyes of those who lived through it. And ask yourself the question: “What would you do?”
Visit the outdoor exhibitions in Bemmel, Elst, Ommeren, Opheusden, Tiel and Wamel.
Freedom of Choice Podcast
Freedom of Choice (Keuze Vrijheid) also has a podcast. It features interviews with residents of the Rivieren region, sharing their personal stories about the Second World War (Dutch version only).
New episodes are regularly added. They are available to listen to on Spotify.
