Albert en Theo: a special friendship

Until 9 April from 10 to 17 hours

Exhibition

During Operation Market Garden Theo Smolders, who was 15 years old at the time, met the 21-year-old American paratrooper of Mohawk descent, Sgt. Albert A. Tarbell. They spent six weeks together and became friends for life.

Friendship in wartime

This exhibition provides an image of their wartime experiences and of their friendship, through interviews, photographs and unique historical objects. In addition, visitors learn about the cultural identity of Albert, one of the thousands of Native American soldiers who took part in the liberation of Europe. The temporary exhibition ‘Albert & Theo’ is a collaboration between the Radboud University and the Freedom Museum, composed by Americanist dr. Mathilde Roza.
