THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL FORT BREENDONK

A Place Of Remembrance

Belgium has not been spared the horror of Nazism and its concentration camps. The fortress of Breendonk is a moving and striking example. It is one of the best conserved camps in Europe.

Between September 1940 and September 1944, around 3500 prisoners passed through Breendonk. 301 didn’t survive the camp. 

We installed one of my artworks in the fortress of Breendonk. I wanted to pay tribute to the 301 prisoners who died at Fort Breendonk by hardship, execution or suspension.

301 hands are brought together as a memorial.
