Trip in the context of the Second World War

The program looks as follows: Visit to Museum 44, Meensel-Kiezegem Bezoek at Huis van Belgisch-Franse Verzet, Sint-Joris-Winge Museum 44 in Meensel-Kiezegem is dedicated to the roundups that the Germans carried out in both villages on August 1 and 11, 1944 as a retaliatory action for the attack on a collaborator. During the visit, both the exhibition space in the museum and the immediate surroundings around the museum (honorary cemetery, memorial stones, tribunal) are visited, under the guidance of a guide.
