This guide includes lesson ideas for discussion techniques, working with (digital) sources, stories, or photographs, and engaging with exhibitions.

Comic Book: De Schuilhoek/ Das Versteck (The Hiding Place)
An educational comic about the Second World War – suitable for upper primary and lower secondary education.

These bilingual comic books (Dutch/German) were commissioned by the Nationaal Onderduikmuseum and the Anne Frank Foundation. They are designed to be used in preparation for a visit to the museum.
The Story: The Hiding Place follows Wim van Dort, a resistance character from the book The Discovery. In 1943, to avoid the ‘Arbeitseinsatz’ (forced labour), he goes into hiding in Aalten, a border town in the Achterhoek region.
Schools can order copies at a reduced price of €2.50 each (minimum order of 10 copies, excluding shipping costs).
Please contact educatie@onderduikmuseum.nl or order via the booking form.
