About this location: When the Germans invaded the Netherlands in May 1940, they took over two school buildings located on the Euterpestraat and set up a number of their departments there. "The Euterpestraat" became synonymous with bad news after that. (See the map for more information. Also, at least three books include a wartime photo of this location: AF:BTD p. 88; HLOF picture #18; LSMOAF.)   The buildings were bombed but this one was apparently repaired (the bomb made a hole starting at the far right large window in this photo, about as wide as the distance between the three large visible windows on the right). After the war, the Dutch renamed the street Gerrit van der Veenstraat, after a Dutch resistance fighter.
