Morsecode

De tentoonstelling Op de vlucht voor Hitler – De Engelandvaart van de familie Oznowicz vertelt het verhaal van de amateur poppenmakers Isidore Oznowicz en zijn vrouw Françoise Ghevaert, die in mei 1940 Antwerpen ontvluchten vanwege de Duitse inval. Ze reizen via Frankrijk, Casablanca en Lissabon naar Engeland, waar Isidore zich aansluit bij de Prinses Irene Brigade. In de Brigade wordt Isidore opgeleid tot seiner. Hij leert morsecode en geeft via de radio boodschappen door. Dat is een belangrijke taak, zeker wanneer de Brigade vanaf augustus 1944 meevecht met de geallieerde legers. Samen met de rest van de Brigade helpt Isidore België en Zuid-Nederland te bevrijden.

Engelandvaarders

Meer dan 2100 Nederlanders, de Engelandvaarders, maken een soortgelijke reis om de strijd tegen de Duitsers te ondersteunen. De Nederlandse regering in ballingschap verzamelt uitgebreide dossiers over deze vluchtelingen. Aan de hand van deze dossiers is de reis van Isidore en Francoise gereconstrueerd, tot grote vreugde van hun zoon Frank Oz. Hij probeert al jaren te achterhalen wat zijn ouders in de oorlog meemaakten. Frank Oz is bekend als regisseur en poppenspeler, vooral van personages in Sesamstraat, The Muppet Show en Star Wars. Voor de tentoonstelling stelt hij de marionetten van zijn ouders beschikbaar. Waaronder de bijzondere Hitlerpop die ze tijdens de oorlog begraven in de achtertuin.
