"This collection includes poems and books that were published illegally in the Netherlands during World War II. The items range from high-quality literature to the little amateur poems that accompany presents on the Dutch feast of St. Nicholas: a good opportunity for their writers to gibe the occupying forces. These unique publications are now accessible online through Het Geheugen van Nederland (The Memory of the Netherlands). Taken together, they draw a picture of literary resistance in war time. "
