Belgium with a population of about 10.7 million, is about the size of the State of Maryland. It is a multilingual country with Dutch as the primary language in the northern half, known as the Flemish RegionFrench is spoken in the southern half, called the Walloon Region, while a smaller, German speaking community is located along the eastern border.  A mix of these languages is spoken in the Capital Region of Brussels.

The term "Low Countries" is used collectively for Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, a reference to the low-lying nature of the land.

On May 10, 1940 the Nazis occupation of the entire country began.  Some months later, the Nazis launched their anti-Jewish campaign and fifty-three thousand Jews were deported out of 100,000 residing in the country.  Jews were able to hide in an area of Belgium that the Germans, during WW 1, also did not occupy.

The majority of the Jews living in Belgium at this time, were foreign nationals, including many stateless ones.  Many tried to flee the country; some returned and others fled to the US, Latin America, Portugal, Britain, etc. 

Today, Belgium has the fourth largest Jewish community in Europe - a country that is the size
of Maryland.

Antwerp

Antwerp was one of the main transit ports in Europe.  The Flemish port city encompasses one of the last remaining shtetls in the world.  Diamonds and Orthodoxy are the two forces of this community.  There are six large Ashkenazi Shuls and one small Sephardi one located across from the diamond exchange.  On the front of the synagogue is a memorial plaque to the victims of a Palestinian terrorist bomb placed there in 1981.  The primary language is Yiddish, French or Hebrew. Useful addresses in  Antwerp can be found listed

Antwerp Passenger Lists

Available via the internet.  Make your request by posting a message in the soc.genealogy.benelux  newsgroup who are very helpful.

Emigrants leaving from Antwerp to the US and Canada, in the period from 1872 until 1935, were in general, transported by the Red Star Line.  Unfortunately, it is said that nothing has survived of the Red Star Line archives.  The only source of information for emigrants who were not residents of Belgium are the registers of hotels and boarding houses.  Emigrants did not usually stay in hotels, but in boarding houses. Some, but not all, registers of boarding houses are kept at the Stadsarchief in Antwerp and can be viewed there.  The periods available are:

1811-1821
1877-1885
1925-1979
Nothing available for 1890-1891

Belgium and Dutch Jews

They were sometimes called Black Dutch in America because they spoke Dutch or Flemish and were darker than the other Dutch and Flemish. They had only recently moved to the Netherlands and Belgium (then Spanish Netherlands) from Iberia (Portugal and Spain). When Spain annexed Portugal for a while, many Portuguese Jews fled to Spanish Flanders to escape the Inquisition or Flanders as part of Spanish Netherlands).

Most, like the famous philosopher Baruch Spinoza, crossed into Protestant Netherlands for greater freedom of expression and religion. For more on Spinoza. These Sephardic Jews were, on the average, darker than the Ashkenazic Jews of northern Europe, so an explanation like Black Dutch suited them well.

Bruge (Brocha)

  

Should you ever plan on visiting Belgium, may I suggest you consider this wonderful and delightful town.  In all of our travels, Shirley and I have never found a more tranquil setting as this town displays.  You will be able to see how people lived from the 14th and 15th centuries on as this town has preserved this delightful atmosphere very carefully. Bruge is a canal-filled former capital of West Flanders.

There are no modern buildings around.  Nothing has been remodeled to look like the 21st century.  The town looks the same today as it did in yesteryear. And if you are lucky, once every four years, I believe, the town has a celebration and the townspeople dress up like in the old days.  We happened to visit there when it happened and remember it now often as one of life's wonderful travel experiences.

Brussels

Once a sleepy village that grew up around a chapel on an island in the Senne River, Brussels is now a thriving small capital city. The name Brussels originates from the Old Dutch "bruocsella", which means "home in the marsh".  There is a substantial and diverse Jewish community  and the city is also the seat of the Consistoire Central Israelite de Belgique, the official representative body of Belgian Jewry that is composed of representatives of both Orthodoxy and the secular Jewish organizations.

Keerbergen

I received the following e-mail - perhaps someone will be able to help Frans.
 
"
I am writing a book about Keerbergen airfield.  In 1943, Berthold Linz and Fréderic Steiner, Jewish people who lived in Keerbergen, were arrested by the Germans.  I suppose that both men died in concentration camps.  Is there any website or database where I can find the names of the Belgian-Jewish people who died in these German camps ?  Where can I find confirmation about the fate of these people from Keerbergen? Nothing was found in the local archives of Keerbergen. Many thanks for your help, Frans Van Humbeek

Roubaix

Roubaix is known as “l’Enfer du Nord” which translates to “The Hell of the North.” That expression came from the soldiers who were posted there during WW I. The rough farm tracks and cobbled lanes that are used are what was left after the bombing in World War 1.
