Behind every victim of war is a human being with their own story – and people who miss them. The War Victims Foundation is committed to making these stories visible and to doing justice to all victims of the Second World War.

We do this, among other things, by:

• Research into individuals who were active in German military or administrative service in the Netherlands during the Second World War
• Research into Dutch nationals in German military service, both in the Netherlands and abroad
• Locating and investigating (former) field graves
• Grave and family research into victims and their next of kin
• Archival research both domestically and abroad
• Reconstructing personal life stories
• Sharing these stories through publications and presentations
• Providing support in the identification of victims, including unknown soldiers

In this way, we contribute to remembrance, recognition, and a more complete understanding of the past.
