Europanetzwerk Deutsch

The German Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut promote the German language as a working and procedural language in the European institutions through the exclusive grant programme Europanetzwerk Deutsch. Various language course programmes and events on socio-political and cultural topics provide the opportunity to improve existing German language skills and to become part of a committed alumni network in Europe. The activities take place both on site and online.

GERETTET AUF ZEIT - Child transports to Belgium 1938/39

After the November pogroms of 1938, thousands of Jews wanted to leave the German Reich as quickly as possible. However, entry regulations were very strict and some countries were only willing to accept children. Belgium was also prepared to grant residence to around 1,000 children. The children were transported to safety in 17 Kindertransports via Aachen and Herbesthal to Belgium - only temporary safety, as it turned out after the German occupation of Belgium in May 1940 at the latest. The exhibition presents almost unknown rescue stories and the extraordinary lives of the rescued boys and girls. Last but not least, it focuses on the great willingness of the Belgian population to help, to which many children owe their lives. In addition to visiting the exhibition, you will have the opportunity to talk to contemporary witness Adolphe Nysenholc from the association ‘L'enfant caché’.
