Last Saturday, the children traditionally visited Facts, a fair in Ghent comparable to ComiCon. After working on great cosplay costumes for a few months, we drove to Ghent. Finally, after an hour and a half of standing in traffic jams, they moved into the exhibition halls.
Heidi and I had decided in advance to explore the surroundings of Ghent this time. After another half hour in traffic jams, we were able to leave the site and drove towards the harbor.
The "Captain Zeppos Park" (look for our album "Kapitein Zeppospark")was our first stop. This is a former inner dock that has now been turned into a park. A small playground, a beach on the water where swimming is not allowed, an old harbor crane that functions as a landmark and some old quay walls. A nice place.
Autumn has now fully erupted here. This makes it rain, strong winds, ... . In short, no weather to chase a dog through. As a result, we searched for some nice places to visit via Google Maps. Places with a roof over our heads. Yet our attention was drawn to a special place.
A former execution site of the Nazis. We couldn't resist visiting this place. With a large umbrella in one hand and my mobile phone in the other, I managed to take some pictures. The inclement weather contributed greatly to the experience of the place.
Quote from Wikipedia:
The Execution Centre Rieme-Oostakker is the place in the Ghent borough of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the German occupiers between 8 February 1943 and 24 August 1944.
Here the memory of the 20 resistance fighters who died at rieme's execution site is also kept alive. That site had to disappear in 1998 because of the construction of the Kluizendok of the port of Ghent. The whole has been transferred to the border area between Oostakker and Lochristi.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. A number of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme were found in a mass grave in Hechtel-Eksel. In addition, German soldiers and Belgian criminals were also executed. Due to these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people died. After the Liberation, the mass grave in Oostakker was uncovered. The victims were identified and buried in their residences. The crosses on the site therefore have a symbolic meaning. Yet the execution site is also a cemetery: in 1952 the remains of 15 West Flemish political prisoners beheaded in Munich were interred.

"I'll let you enjoy your last hours of life though," said Red Death. "I have something special planned for your grand finale."
Ont this site more than 340 people (Jews, resistance people) were executed by German squads, in the summer months of 1944, after the allied invasion in Normandy, shortly before the liberation of this area. It was the execution site of the concentration camp of Vught, situated in the forests near the old fortresses of Den Bosch. The wall, made of French stones, was erected in 1947 in front of the "bullet catcher" sand wall.

This is the guy the lady did not care for. I can't blame her. He's one of Ithaca's many passive-aggressive attention getters.
As we were walking in this really gorgeous area of the Memorial site, I was struck by the beauty and peace of it. Then I realized that this is where the SS were executing some prisoners using pistol, and I started to cold shiver...
"Executions through shots in the back of the neck were carried out at an earthen wall or in a ditch. In the Fall of 1944 the SS shot 92 Soviet officers, members of a resistance organization."

Adams, Eddie. Saigon Execution. 1 February 1968. Photograph
This photograph, taken by photographer Eddie Adams in 1968, shows the brutal execution of a Viet Cong Officer, Nguyen Van Lem, by the South Korean General Nguyen Ngoc Loan. The photo caused uproar among anti-war protestors due to assumptions that the man was an innocent victim, brutalized by the war. Eddie Adams has admitted his regret at even taking the photo (despite winning the 1968 Pulitzer Prize) for it failed to tell the real story. The Vietcong Officer had been responsible for many deaths in General Loan’s military police force, including a senior officer and close friend General Loan. In reality, the photo further shows the ethical and moral gray area in which war exists.
