Remembrance Day

In November, the iDSB joins forces with local schools in Wezembeek-Oppem to commemorate the armistice and the end of the First World War. In Belgium, a key theatre of the conflict, this day holds special significance. Taking part is very important to us, as it sends a message of reconciliation and shared remembrance.

Commemoration ceremony for the victims of the World Wars in Lommel

Every year in November, a commemoration ceremony is held in Lommel to mark Remembrance Day. Lommel is situated in the east of Belgium, just before the border with the Netherlands and a few kilometres from Eindhoven. It is home to the largest German military cemetery in Western Europe, where almost 40,000 fallen soldiers are buried.

It has become something of a tradition for pupils from the iDSB to contribute to this deeply moving event at the military cemetery with a musical or literary performance. Alongside the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Kingdom of Belgium, other high-ranking officials, such as the British and Dutch ambassadors, are also in attendance.
