Jewish families of Liège are arrested and transported to the Dossin barracks in Malines.

In Liège, the occupying forces proceed with the arrest of the city's Jews, the majority of them families from Eastern Europe settled in working-class neighborhoods. As the summonses for "compulsory labor in the East" had been largely ignored, the German police turned to street roundups and house raids. Those arrested were taken to the Dossin barracks in Malines. A significant portion of the community escaped arrest thanks to Walloon rescue networks.
