Eighty-one years ago, Auschwitz was liberated, exposing the scale of an industrialized system of murder. More than one million people deported to Auschwitz were murdered there. Across Europe, six million Jews were systematically persecuted and exterminated during the Holocaust. Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the victims and to honor the survivors. We remember. We bear witness. Never again. #ww2 #ww2history #wwii #holocaust #holocaustremembranceday | Joël Stoppels Battl

At the Arnhem War Museum, we were guided by Eef Peeters through an impressive collection of WWII artefacts. A unique museum where every object tells a story from the Battle of Arnhem and beyond. #ww2 #ww2history #wwii #ww2pictures #worldwartwo #wwiihistory #battleofarnhem | Joël Stoppels Battlefield Tours

Today, June 5, 2025, a powerful tribute was unveiled on the historic grounds of Normandy. At the La Fière Bridge Memorial site, a new monument now stands to honor the airmen of the Eighth Army Air Force — the legendary “Mighty Eighth.” Four life-sized bronze statues by acclaimed sculptor Benjamin Victor — representing heroes like Gen. James Doolittle and Lt. Col. Robert Rosenthal — were officially dedicated in a moving ceremony. #normandy #8thairforce #mighteight #ww2 #dday | Joël Stoppels Battl
