Resistance

After the German Wehrmacht's invasion of Belgium in 1940, the fort was used as a Gestapo prison and as a collection camp. About 7,000 Belgians and foreigners were held captive here, among them many resistance fighters and political opponents. The Fort of Huy was one of the central departure points for transports from Belgium to the National Socialist concentration camps in the German Reich.

The German Resistance Memorial Center is a site of remembrance, political studies, active learning, documentation, and research. An extensive permanent exhibition, a series of temporary special exhibitions, events, and a range of publications document and illustrate resistance to National Socialism. The center's goal is to show how individual persons and groups took action against the National Socialist dictatorship from 1933 to 1945 and made use of what freedom of action they had.

The museum is dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. It sponsors research into the history of the uprising, and the history and possessions of the Polish Underground State. It collects and maintains hundreds of artifacts — ranging from weapons used by the insurgents to love letters — to present a full picture of the people involved. The museum's stated goals include the creation of an archive of historical information on the uprising and the recording of the stories and memories of living participants.
