Kenaupark
Kenaustraat and Haarlem NS train station, Haarlem, The NetherlandsAs part of your tour through Haarlem, you'll visit Kenaupark, a serene green space that holds a deep connection to the Dutch resistance.
At the heart of the park, we’ll stop by the monument to Hannie Schaft, known as “the Girl with the Red Hair.” Hannie was a courageous young woman who became a symbol of resistance against Nazi occupation. She operated in and around Haarlem, and her story—marked by bravery, sacrifice, and betrayal—is one of the most poignant of the war.
Here, under the shade of old trees and surrounded by 19th-century architecture, you'll hear how ordinary Dutch citizens became extraordinary heroes. We’ll share stories of espionage, sabotage, and the underground networks that helped hide Jewish families and resist occupation.
Beyond the memorial, you’ll have time to reflect, take photos, and absorb the peacefulness of the park—a striking contrast to the turbulent history we explore.10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2
