Cellars Kazerne Dossin • 1MEMO_20260422 • Michel van der Burg • Miracles•Media • Today 15 years ago, April 22, 2011 — the day after my 1st interview with Simon Gronowski in Brussels, working on our documentary film Transport XX to Auschwitz (see below) — I took this picture at the permanent exhibition in the Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance, in the cellars of the former Dossin barracks in Mechelen, below the entrance, where during the war in 1943-44 Régine Krochmal (born in my home town The Hague in Holland, deported with Simon Gronowski, and escaped from Transport XX to Auschwitz) and others of her Austrian resistance group (Österreichische Freiheitsfront) were interrogated, tortured, and imprisoned. The “SS-Sammellager Mecheln” before — now part of the Kazerne Dossin – Memorial, Museum and Research Centre on Holocaust and Human Rights.
