Fort Breendonk ¸ ¸

  • An abandoned army fortress was used as a concentration camp by the Nazis during the war. It primarily housed political prisoners (this Nazi classification included Jews who were active in resistance movements) and was notorious for its torture chambers. The site has been preserved intact and is today a national memorial. It is one of the 22 camps that won the morbid honor of having its name engraved on the floor of the memorial crypt at Yad Vashem (the Israel Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem).
