Royal Liberation Dress
1944
Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei
Amsterdam, Netherlands
In 1944, a little Jewish girl named Elianne Muller wore this dress made of parachute material – dyed orange – during the Liberation celebration that took place in the village of Neerkant in the Dutch province of Brabant. It went beautifully with her reddish curls. The family Thijssen, who had been hiding the girl, made her this dress for this festive occasion.
