It is to see the of this prison and prisons in general in Holland. Also, the story about the punishments for Nazi collaborators and the dynamic about that was interating While the old museum was focussed on the of this prison colony (when I visited 30 years ago) the current museum gives an overview of the of Dutch prisons and punishments in general. We opted for the extra tour around the village and that was very even for my father who lives in a nearby village and has been in Veenhuizen often as the guide tells stories. Great place to visit (incl with kids), intriguing story that forms part of modern Dutch Absolutely worth visiting, definitely take the audio tour, learnt a lot about elements of the Dutch that I was unaware of Very to learn how people used to treat prisoners and staff. Their clothes, punishments, circumstances. A lot has changed since the old days. My son is sworn in as a civil servant.
