History and Memory of World War II Occupation in Belgium: A Round Table Discussion
This round table aims to take stock of current debates about Belgian memory of World War II by addressing the history of collaboration in Belgium and the role that cultural products, including literary texts and digital resources, have played in the articulation of a memory of the past. The round table opens the international conference ‘Complicities in the Second World War: Literature of Occupation, Collaboration, and Impure Resistance’, which takes place in Ghent on 4 and 5 October.
