Bridge to Liberation 2026

During the commemoration on September 18, 2026, we commemorated the Battle of Arnhem. The evacuation that followed, and we pause at the John Frost Bridge to reflect on the impact of war and the value of freedom.

History comes alive during Bridge to Liberation. A commemorative event to show the impact of war and the value of freedom. The audience is immersed in an impressive experience about war and freedom with live music, dance, visual effects and film.

This years edition the stories of these three women were told; Kiek Bierman-van der Does, Alice Muusse, Marian Fogteloo-Broeker and Emmy Drop-Menko. Live and on the LED screens, or at home, the audience could see how these women experienced the Battle of Arnhem and the evacuation as they were children. Personal memories that show how war can permanently shape a person's life.
