Kazerne Dossin
Every Name Matters
With the project “Every name matters”, Kazerne Dossin wants to commemorate the 25,843 people who were deported from the Dossin barracks during the Second World War. Each name is read aloud by a unique participant, creating a personal connection with a deportee. Once the project has been completed, all recordings will be played continuously in the Memorial. Sign up and read a name aloud.
Kazerne Dossin is a very special place of remembrance for Belgium. As 'SS Sammellager Mecheln', the Dossin barracks was a waitingroom for death for more than 25,000 Jews and gypsies from Belgium and Northern France during the Second World War.
The museum has been built to record the historical significance of this place for present and future generations and to illustrate themes like racism, exclusion and human rights. The combination of the human rights theme and the historical story of the Holocaust in Belgium makes Kazerne Dossin a project of European interest. The new museum was designed by leading architect and former Flemish Government Architect bOb Van Reeth.
