Maczek Memorial Breda

The Maczek Memorial Breda provides a space for recognition and commemoration of the contribution made by Polish fighters in the Second World War to the liberation of large parts of the Netherlands and Belgium.

At the Polish Military Cemetery on Ettensebaan in Breda, the Maczek Memorial Breda has been developed. This Memorial provides space for recognition and remembrance of the contribution made by Polish fighters in World War II to the liberation of large parts of the Netherlands and Belgium. The multimedia wall shows the route taken by the Poles, supported by stories of Polish fighters. Additionally, there is an information and documentation centre, an auditorium, and a space for reflection.
