Visitor center Cemetery of Honor - the May Days of 1940
The exhibition at the visitor center on the Cemetery of Honor focuses on the events of the May Days of 1940 and recounts the history through the stories of soldiers who did not survive the first days of the war and found their final resting place at the Grebbeberg.
The exhibition is not limited to the battle at Grebbeberg—it also tells the stories of victims who fought in May 1940 above South Holland, at the Peel-Raam Line, at Ockenburg Airfield, and on the IJsselmeer. The exhibition also pays some attention to 320 Squadron, particularly through the story of Felix Bloemgarten, a Jewish man who managed to escape the Netherlands in 1941. After many travels, he ended up in England, joining the Dutch squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF). In 1944, at the age of 24, he lost his life when his plane was shot down above Dreux, about 70 kilometers west of Paris. Felix Bloemgarten is also buried at Grebbeberg.
