Studying in Delft during World War II
The story unfolds in March 1943; students in the Netherlands are faced with the German declaration of loyalty. In order to study, one has to declare loyalty to German regime. Objectors are denied entry to their study and are deported to Germany for forced labour. The difficult question; to sign or not to sign? This history is brought to life at the place where it all happened; the TU Delft.
‘Getekend’ is a theatre production about students in Delft during the German occupation. The students need to make difficult choices. What if ‘the good’ does not pay off? How far would you go for your study, your love, your fellow students and your homeland? And is signing a crime or an inevitability?
These shows, subtitled in English, take place between the 19th and 23rd of May at the Auditorium. Students and staff from TU Delft are accompanied by a cast of professional actors. Together they portray the students from that time. The music, brought to you by Groover’s Big Band, will take you back to the 40’s.
