  "The museum in Malines, a memorial, has been designed as theantechamber of death. Centering on this fatal deportation, it presents the history ofthe "Final Solution" in Belgium and in Europe. It allows us to understand how in Belgium nearly one out of two Jews perished during the Second World War. Furthermore, it is not only a museum about the deportation of Belgian Jews, but also about their resistance. Thanks to the support they received from the Belgian people, many managed to escape from their Nazi pursuers and their collaborators." An excellent resource in Belgium.
