Remembering Together
Introducing our new podcast series: Remembering Together.
It’s almost 80 years since the Netherlands was liberated, following 5 years of occupation. During that time the population was brutally suppressed.
Jews and other groups were deported and murdered as war raged through Europe.
In this podcast series - brought to you by the British Embassy in the Hague - we look at the impact of occupation and the holocaust on the Netherlands, the process of liberating the Netherlands, and the continued importance today of remembering what happened in the Netherlands.
This podcast is produced by Andy Clark of StudioLijn 14.

Remembering Together: Episode 10 - the Liberation Museum Groesbeek, in conversation with Director Esther Horsten
In this episode, Deputy Ambassador Keith Allan visits the Freedom Museum in Groesbeek and speaks with museum Director Esther Horsten who grew up in the region.
The Freedom Museum is located in the area of two of the most important operations on the Western Front during World War 2: Operation Market Garden and Operation Veritable.
The museum not only remembers the liberation of Groesbeek and the Netherlands, but highlights a broader theme of war and freedom. By offering interactive exhibits and telling personal stories, they aim to bring history alive for their visitors, encouraging reflection on the Second World War but also making connections with today's world and more recent struggles for freedom.
