1940's Holland

CowgirlPoet · Oct 27, 2009

Well, I'm back to WWII in my new (NaNo) novel, SS-5! The story (based on a true story) takes place in Holland, specifically Amsterdam. I have a pretty good handle on the history, but I think I need to work on my setting...

Basically, I'm looking for books, movies, websites, etc, set in that time period in Holland! Language is not a problem. Anything you can come up with will be helpful!

Thanks a lot!

Anne Frank's Diary
Also, Audrey Hepburn's biography. She grew up in Holland during the war.
