Memory register · custodian, not owner
Brussels first attracted merchants of Iberian origin in the early modern period, then, especially from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Ashkenazi immigrants from eastern Europe fleeing poverty and persecution. The community, active in commerce, crafts, and trades, established synagogues and institutions, and Belgium recognized the Israelite faith among the officially organized religions. During the Second World War, a significant proportion of Belgium's Jews was deported from the Malines assembly camp, but many were also saved by networks of resistance and rescue. After the war, the community reconstituted itself, with Brussels and Antwerp remaining its two major centers.
