Breendonk Concentration Camp, Belgium

Alice's cousin took us on a day trip to Breendonk with her son Daan.

Breendonk is one of the most complete WWII concentration camps. Soon after WWII finished Breendonk was turned into a museum, so it is well preserved. Prisoners dug out the entire camp, which was originally a fort built into a hill.

STOP: You will get shot dead if you go further
