7. Resistance Newspapers/Illegal Newspapers
Here we see a substantial collection of illegal resistance newspapers. Well-known names such as De Vrije Pers (The Free Press) and De Waarheid (The Truth) are present. These newspapers were often distributed by couriers of the resistance to keep people informed and break through the censorship imposed by German newspapers. Remarkable is the large stack of small resistance newspapers. These newspapers cover the period from March 1945 until May 4, 1945. There are also a number of loose newspapers. The newspapers from May 4 and 5, 1945, are particularly interesting. The liberation had become a reality! (Click on the photos to enlarge.)
