A pentagon-shaped museum built on the former prison opposite the Dossin barracks, the wagon bears witness to the railway.

This pentagon-shaped museum was built on the site of the former prison, opposite the Dossin barracks. The antechamber of death, in the persecution of the Jews in Belgium. It was here, halfway between Brussels and Antwerp, that the Nazis set up the deportation center to Auschwitz. The historic railway car still bears witness to the railway line. The windows overlooking the barracks are sealed with 25,000 stones symbolizing the more than 25,000 deportees.

Superbe musée. Réalisé de manière interactive et non pas comme les anciens musées. Une très belle démarche qui explique bien cette période trouble avec de nombreux témoignages. Avoir absolument.

Je recommande vraiment la visite de la Caserne Dossin. Loin d'être un musée classique, son but est de faire réfléchir les visiteurs. Les personnes déportées lors de chacun des convois y retrouvent un nom et un visage. On y vit une expérience profondément humaine et empathique. Bouleversant.
