A group of about twenty people, consisting of parents, children and teenagers, gathered at the museum in hiding. There was the starting point of a walk through the village that managed to hide so many Jewish people from the occupying forces during the war. With some museum employees as guides, it went past houses whose residents played an important role in the resistance. At some places, people stopped for a while to tell the story of what happened at that place, and what the residents and people in hiding had to endure. Like at the church, where the ‘divers’ Herman and Peter hid in the crawl space under the pulpit.
