Fort Breendonk, Belgium – Remembrance 8 May 1945 - 7 May 2023.

Remembrance 8 May 1945, speeches and wreath laying at the Monument of the Resistance.

Impressive and powerful speech from Simon Gronowski, almost 92 by now, survivor of the Holocaust.  Simon Gronowski (born October 12, 1931) is a Doctor of Law, from the Free University of Brussels, a very talented jazz pianist, and the president of the Union of Jewish deportees in Belgium. Gronowski was born in Brussels, and survived the Holocaust by escaping deportation in Convoy No. XX, on 19 April 1943, which would have taken him to Auschwitz. He then lived through the rest of the war in hiding, with his father Léon Gronowski.
