Portraits and testimonies of resistance fighters and deportees from the Second World War in Belgium.
Each witness shares the same message: “War is horrific — we must do everything we can to live in peace.”
The duty of remembrance is essential if we want to avoid reliving the demons of the past. As time passes, memories fade and the “elders” disappear. Before it is too late, we met with around fifty resistance fighters and deportees from the Second World War and collected their stories.
A project presented as a book and exhibition, in partnership with the Archives of Wallonia and the Museum of Photography in Charleroi.
