The Hell of Fort Breendonk: A WW2 Story of Starvation and Resistance

This is the story of Fort Breendonk, one of Europe's most chilling and best-preserved SS prison camps. Through this visual memorial, we bear witness to the facts of what happened inside these walls. While many know the story of Auschwitz, the hell of Breendonk, located in Belgium, is less known. It was not an extermination camp, but an "SS-Auffanglager" (reception camp) designed to break the human spirit. Its prisoners were primarily Belgian resistance fighters, political opponents, and Jews. This video is a tribute to their memory, outlining the grim facts of life inside: THE MISSION: Systematic torture, interrogation, and forced labor. THE DIET: A calculated starvation. Prisoners were given less than 800 calories to survive 12 hours of grueling labor. THE FOOD: Bitter "coffee" from roasted acorns, one liter of watery soup, and 225 grams of bread. THE FATE: At least 185 prisoners were executed on site. Hundreds more perished from starvation, disease, and abuse, or were deported to larger concentration camps. Fort Breendonk stands today as a National Memorial. It is a cold, silent, and crucial warning from our past.
