Abstract:
Surveys the activities of Jewish organizations in Belgium from 1945 (e.g. L'Aide aux Israélites Victimes de la Guerre (AIVG), and le Conseil des Associations Juives de Belgique) in the reconstruction of the Jewish communities after the war. Organizations of former fighters - the Fédération Nationale des Anciens Combattants et Résistants Armés Juifs de Belgique, Union des Anciens Résistants Juifs de Belgique, and many others - were and are active in commemorating the Holocaust. Describes some of their projects, like the construction of monuments (e.g. in the cemetery of Etterbeck, in Malines) and especially Le Mémorial National aux Martyrs Juifs de Belgique, inaugurated in 1970, which became the main site for official commemorations of the genocide.
