In 2005 it was exactly sixty years ago that the Second World War ended and that the Netherlands gave up most of their colonies in Asia. This was the motivation for the Dutch Institute for War Documentation to construct a nationally travelling exhibition around the theme of war children. The histories of several families have been related to the experiences of their children. In 2005 the spacious presentation travelled to all Dutch provinces, paying special attention to the war children of the specific region.
The exhibition contains many audiovisual materials and parts of documentaries. By using a special morphing technique the visitors for instance see the seniors, while telling their histories, change back into the innocent children they were when they got involved in the war. Ars Longa provided the special effects present in the exhibition, the creative concept, the visualisation design, the accompanying prints, and even the corresponding website. This website (www.oorlogskind.nl) plays an important role in the interactivity of exhibition.
