• Kenaupark - During a tour of Haarlem, visitors will explore Kenaupark, a tranquil green area with significant ties to the Dutch resistance.

In the center of the park, there is a monument dedicated to Hannie Schaft, famously known as “the Girl with the Red Hair.” Hannie was a brave young woman who became a symbol of defiance against the Nazi occupation. She operated in and around Haarlem, and her story—characterized by courage, sacrifice, and betrayal—is one of the most moving of the war.

Here, beneath the shade of ancient trees and amidst 19th-century architecture, visitors will learn how ordinary Dutch citizens became extraordinary heroes. Stories of espionage, sabotage, and the underground networks that aided Jewish families and resisted occupation will be shared.

Beyond the memorial, there is time to reflect, take photos, and enjoy the tranquility of the park—a stark contrast to the turbulent history being explored.
