From 2012 to 2019, historian Carlo Lejeune interviewed historical eyewitnesses originating from East Belgium or connected to the border area on camera.
This project has been continued by ZOG since 2021. In this way, an audiovisual memory of the region and its history is being created that contains a variety of experiences, perspectives and topics. These contemporary testimonies can be used in the future as supplementary sources in various forms.
