- Abstract
- During the FWW, the German administration executed at least 277 civilians for espionage in occupied Belgium and France. These executions took place in inaccessible and isolated forts, situated at the edge of the cities. We demonstrate how the executions and the executed were integrated in the public space of Antwerp, Liège and Lille by local memory agents. In so doing, we explore the intersection of memory and space. We discuss in this article how trauma sites of the First World War were transformed into new places of remembrance during the interwar period.
