During World War II, Brunssum showed its best side. At the risk of their own lives, families opened their doors to Jewish children in hiding. In secret, an emergency hospital was established and many British liberators found their final resting place there. The resistance thrived and nobody spoke, until after the war. Now you walk past the hidden stories from Brunssum's wartime past.
Tip! Traces from the war
In South Limburg, World War II left clear traces. During your visit, you will discover the hidden stories behind façades, among the hills, and in caves where people sought refuge. Museums, routes, and monuments take you back to this dark history.
