There's one in Amsterdam that's worth a few hours if you happen to be
in Amsterdam, but I wouldn't plan a trip for just that. And for truth
in advertising, it should probably be called the "Occupation Museum";
most of the collection was devoted to Dutch life under occupation but
before the outbreak of major resistance efforts.

See above. The more I learn about the subject, the more I find that
the actual resistance movements for the most part didn't get seriously
underway until mid- to late 1942, when everybody with a radio could
see how the war was going to turn out and thus the advantage to being
on the winning side. A few conspicuous exceptions; the Yugoslavs
fought hard and well from the day the Nazis invaded, the French for
the most point ran out to join the resistance the day the Nazis left,
but by and large the break point between accepting the occupation and
resisting it came in 1942.
