Exhibition: In the shadow of liberation. Scheveningen Prison 1945-1950

The exhibition "In the Shadow of Liberation" sheds light on an underexposed and troubling period in Dutch post-war history: the internment and trial of (suspected) collaborators in the first years after liberation. Who are these prisoners and why are they imprisoned? What were their motivations, and what does it mean to be a perpetrator?
