This photograph, "Het neerhalen van de Nederlandse vlag en hijsen van de hakenkruisvlag" (The lowering of the Dutch flag and the hoisting of the swastika flag), is a powerful and sobering visual record of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands during World War II. Though the artist remains anonymous, this image, part of a larger album, provides a glimpse into the daily life and events of the time. Captured between 1941 and 1945, the photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical events and the enduring impact of conflict on societies.
