About the location / building:
"In 2020, the Meijaard-Rijsdijk Foundation bought a former school building and made it available to the veterans. This building, Elizabeth Alexander Huis, is named after the namesake of the Meijaard-Rijsdijk Foundation and is now the home of the Veterans Meeting Center Zeeland Foundation (SVOCZ)."
