Providentia
In 1942 Providentia was evacuated by order of the German occupier. In that year a building was built on the complex for the Hitler Youth. Certainly not only Germans were members of the Hitler Youth. Dutch boys and girls of parents who were affiliated with the NSB could also be included. Children were taught at the Deutsche Schule, but were also trained and drilled as a kind of elite. A concrete shelter was also constructed with a one meter thick concrete deck. On top of that, there was again soil and vegetation. A small hill at the rear of the monastery still indicates the location of the bunker.
