Historun is an annual Leiden walking tour in historical context, organized by the Indonesian Student Association, PPI Leiden.

This year, Historun combines the walking tour with an exhibition. Learn more about the lives of Indonesian students from Perhimpunan Indonesia (PI) and Rukun Pelajar Indonesia (RUPI) who joined the Dutch resistance against Nazi occupation, while also fighting for Indonesian independence. The exhibition will showcase (scanned) archival materials, such as De Bevrijding pamphlet, as well as video interviews with the children of Indonesian resistance fighters.
