Another memorable day was the day we visited a concentration camp called Breendonk. Breendonk was not as huge as some other camps but was just as bad. It was actually what they refer to as a torture camp. People suspected of spying, leaders of the resistance, traitors.....people like that were brought here to be tortured. They were starved, worked, tortured inthe torture chambers, and killed for the sake of getting information.
It was an intense 4 hours as we toured the camp. The boys were really affected and learned so much. What a sad time in world history that war was!!!










After an intense day, we spent the evening in Gent. What difference!!! We enjoyed a nice supper, a canal ride and the viewing of a torture castle (Yikes, I am noticing a theme from that day!)



It was a fascinating but very long day.....
