Shielded from the outside world
Barrack with blue painted windows from Fort Breendonk Camp.
In WWII Fort Breendonk Camp was a Nazi working- and transit camp for Jewish captives before getting deported to Auschwitz and other concentration camps.
After WOII, during the repression, it was still a prison for Belgian collaborators and German minded people. They were treated in the same way as the SS treated the Jews.
It is known as 'The Hell of Breendonk'.
Today it is a museum: 'the national memorial fort Breendonk'. It is the only camp from WWII, that has remained intact.
