Sea of stories Junior

Meet former as well as current inhabitants of the Zuiderzee region, and listen to their stories about their daily lives, their work, clothes, homes and how they spent what little leisure time they had. And about their eternal struggle against the water and the construction of the dike that changed everything: the Afsluitdijk.
