In 2024 and 2025, we celebrate that World War II ended 80 years ago. We commemorate the liberation of the Netherlands, thanks to Allied soldiers and the Dutch resistance, and we remember the victims who fell during that time.

In our identity for 80 years of freedom (80 jaar vrijheid) we celebrate our differences, while also showing that freedom is something we have in common. It’s our shared responsibility to keep it going and pass it on from generation to generation.
