Memorial, museum and research centre on Holocaust and Human rights

Between 1942 and 1944 25,490 Jews and 353 Roma were deported from the Dossin barracks on 28 train transports, primarily to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Few of them survived the ordeal. Today the old military base is a serene site of reflection and remembrance, a Memorial.

Immerse yourself in the history of the Holocaust in Belgium. The museum provides testimonies not only of exclusion, discrimination and mass violence, but also of hope and resistance. Reflect on human rights violations, then and now.
