This year, the walking tour follows the story of Irawan Soejono, a Leiden University student who helped produce the Indonesian underground pamphlet De Bevrijding during occupation. On 13 January 1945, he was executed by German soldiers in the streets of Leiden. Historun will bring participants to walk through the locations where he lived and worked.
