The Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen is a museum, memorial and documentation centre dedicated to the persecution and deportation of Jews and Roma from Belgium during the Second World War. Located at the former Dossin Barracks, the site was used by the German occupying authorities as a transit camp from which more than 25,000 Jews and Roma were deported to concentration and extermination camps, primarily Auschwitz-Birkenau. The museum explores the history of the Holocaust in Belgium, combining personal testimonies, photographs, documents and historical objects to tell the stories of those who were persecuted and deported. The former barracks and the memorial site preserve the connection to the events that took place there. Today, Kazerne Dossin also serves as a centre for Holocaust education, re
