The road of those who were shot.
The Rieme-Oostakker Place of Execution is the place in the Ghent district of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the Naxi occupation force between February 8, 1943 and August 24, 1944.
This memory is also kept alive the 20 resistance fighters who were killed on the execution site at Rieme . That site was destroyed in 1998 during the construction of the Kluizendok of Ghent Port.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. Some of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme was found in a mass grave in Hechtel.
Moreover, there were German soldiers and Belgian criminals also shot. Because of these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people were killed. After the Liberation the mass grave was uncovered in Oostakker. The victims were identified and buried in their hometowns.
The crosses on the ground thus have a symbolic meaning. Nevertheless, the execution place is a cemetery since in 1952 the remains of 15 decapitated West Flemish political prisoners were moved here from their graves in Munich.
On the grounds is a railway carriage which carried hundreds of Belgians to concentration camps in Germany and Poland. In 1966 the execution place gained the status of a protected landscape.
The area of the town of Kouřim was first populated in 3000 B.C., and the first settlement known under this name existed in the 7th Century. It was a very important royal city in medieval times, and it still retains much of itz´s medieval form and many cultural monuments.
The chapel was built in 1727 to bring peace to souls of five monks, who were burned alive by Hussites in this place in 1421. After the execution people began to report seein a burning cross in the sky at clear nights.

Judging by its depth below the high-tide mark, I would guess that this rarely-exposed jetty at Wapping Old Stairs is quite old. And Wapping Old Stairs is the historic site of Execution Dock, where pirates were taken to be chained until three tides had washed over them. Draw your own conclusions.
Tens of thousands died at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Some died from disease, starvation, and exposure, but many were slaughtered by the Nazis between the late 1930s and 1945.
The execution trench seen here was where prisoners were led to then be shot or exterminated in the "ovens" en masse.
Oddly enough, the Musee Mechanique had several machines that showed a small figurine getting executed. Bizarre, but I guess it makes sense...
