Kazerne Dossin

Kazerne Dossin is a memorial, museum and research centre on the Holocaust and human rights in Mechelen. Between 1942 and 1944, 25,490 Jews and 353 Roma were deported from these barracks in 28 transports, mostly to Auschwitz-Birkenau. The old barracks hold the memorial, and the museum, opened in 2012, stands in a new building across the square.
