Summary
[edit]DescriptionNational Monument to the Jewish Martyrs of Belgium 4 (3607968154).jpg |
Some photos of what is generally known as the Brussels (or Belgian) Holocaust Memorial, more formally as the: National Monument to the Jewish Martyrs of Belgium Mémorial National aux Martyrs Juifs de Belgique Nationaal Gedenkteken der Joodse Martelaren van België (Brussels is bi-lingual French- and Dutch-speaking, so place names are given in both languages here.) More than twenty thousand names of Jewish dead are inscribed on the walls here, Jewish victims from all around Belgium, some of whom were killed on Belgian territory, but many of whom were shipped off to the death camps in the East for their extermination. It was, appropriately enough, a rainy day when I visited and took these pictures, of this memorial site that was sadly vandalised the other year. The Brussels Holocaust Memorial is easy to reach by public transport. It is just a few hundred metres on foot from the Cureghem - Kuregem stop on tram line 81, and tram 81 directly runs between the two métro stations at Gare du Midi - Zuidstation, the main Brussels railway station, and the métro station at Saint-Guidon - Sint-Guido near to the Anderlecht house (still standing) where Erasmus lived in Brussels during the years 1517-1521. As you exit the tram number 81 at Cureghem - Kuregem, it is just a short walk eastwards along the Rue Emile Carpentier - Emile Carpentierstraat, to where it meets the Rue de Goujons - Grondelstraat, and there you find the Square des Martyrs Juifs - Joodse Martelarensquare, the site of the National Monument to the Jewish Martyrs of Belgium. |
