A resistance walk in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe

On May 10, 1940, Nazi Germany invaded Belgium. Eighteen days later, King Leopold III capitulated, while his troops were still bravely defending themselves on the battlefields. Belgium was again occupied and the freedom so hard won in 1918 would last only 22 years. The occupiers passed laws and chose their new victims: Jews, Communists, Freemasons, Roma, trade unionists, journalists and lawyers. All over the country, men and women rejected this state of affairs and decided to resist, with or without arms. Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe was also marked by these fighters of the shadow, as evidenced by the commemorative signs, street names and monuments.
