Children Of The Resistance

In the resistance (1x1)

: 22, 2019

During the second World War tens of thousands of Belgians joined the resistance against the Nazi's. Their children bear witness about this war period. What is it that their parents did, why did they join the resistance and what danger did they face? Did they realise the risk they took and what the impact could be on their family? These children remember the war period vividly. How they needed to stay silent about what they saw and heard at home, how afraid they were that the acts of resistance of their fathers or mothers would be discovered. Many resistance members were taken prisoner by the Germans. Even after 75 years, the children remember these arrests as if it were yesterday. Some witnesses never saw their father of mother again. Today they look back: was it worth it? And what feelings prevail: pride in their actions? Or bitterness about the irreplacable loss?
