At The Omzien & Gedenken Foundation, everything revolves around keeping alive the memory of those who fought for our freedom during the Second World War. We commemorate them, tell their stories and pass them on to future generations. Not just out of nostalgia, but because the past helps us to better understand the present.

​

For us, remembrance is not just about reflecting on what has been, but above all about realising what freedom means today. The stories of the past reveal what lack of freedom, war and loss really mean. They give us perspective and call for respect, connection and responsibility, even in this day and age.

 

On this website you will find:

• Our projects, monuments and commemorations

• Information about Allied graves and crews

• News, events and educational initiatives

• Opportunities to contribute to our work yourself

​

Your support is indispensable. Thanks to donations, volunteers and committed partners, we can continue our activities and remind new generations of the importance of freedom, respect and tolerance. Together, we ensure that these stories live on. For now and for later.
