Oral History Project: '1953, The Story'

Personal stories are central to the Watersnoodmuseum. How was it to experience the flood?

In this corner, people who experienced the flood share their stories. What was it like for the victims to flee from the water? Where did they go after leaving their homes? And how did it feel for the rescuers to witness so much sorrow?

Watch and listen to multiple interviews conducted by museum volunteers.
