Territories of Memory is a centre of education in the name of resistance and citizenship set up by former political prisoners who survived Nazi camps. To perform work of remembrance with children, young people and adults, the association develops a wide array of initiatives for communicating the past, promoting respect for others, and encouraging everyone’s involvement in building a democratic society that safeguards fundamental freedoms.

When the Second World War came to an end, numerous people decided to do all they could to ensure that the horror of armed conflicts, large-scale massacres, and Nazi concentration and extermination camps never happened again. In the early 1990s, far-right parties and movements made their reappearance in democratically elected assemblies in both the north and south of Belgium. Today, a fair number of freedom-destroying ideas have become commonplace and some people are no longer shy of claiming that none of it happened at all. So, what are we going to do when the voices of the last witnesses have died out? In the face of the new threats and beyond our justified indignation, it is urgent that we engage with the issue on a daily basis. The association believes that work on remembrance is vital in order to avoid reproducing the mistakes made in the past, in order to understand and decode the world around us and in order to participate in building a more solidary society that places the human being at the centre of all concerns.

Rapport d'activités 2022

« Nous rentrons dans une ère nouvelle qui implique non pas de cesser la prévention mais de repenser la résistance immédiate ».

Cette idée venait conclure l’édito de notre précédent rapport d’activités. Un an plus tard, elle constitue probablement, pour cet exercice, l’entame la plus pertinente et la plus sensée.

L’époque est en effet inquiétante, à plus d’un titre.

La guerre a fait son retour sur le continent européen, charriant avec elle des images d’horreur et un sentiment d’angoisse profond auxquels nous n’imaginions plus être confrontés.

L’actualité nous montre, avec une régularité terrible, qu’aujourd’hui, dans nos sociétés, l’extrême droite et la haine de l’autre tuent, au sens le plus littéral et le plus brutal du terme.

Les discours stigmatisants, les rhétoriques autoritaires et les slogans simplistes – éléments dont l’histoire a montré la portée – ont retrouvé toute leur place dans la stratégie de nombreux responsables politiques en Belgique, en Europe et dans le monde.
