BPFTA

What is BPFTA ? What do we do ? We’re delighted to introduce a film by @biraprodukzioak including our 2018 event in tribute to the Escape Line which operated between #Mendive and #Orbaizeta during #WW2 youtu.be/CXEt6EER6do

The BPFTA 2026 commemoration event will take place in Brussels and Paris, where we will visit key WW2 escape line locations. The Escape Line 'tour' will be by public transport and/or on foot. The event will be in early May 2026. Details will be available on our website shortly.

Niet te missen! Op @vrtmaxbe is een documentaire te zien over de legendarische Belgische verzetsgroep en ontsnappingsroute Comète. Verzetshelden als Andrée De Jongh, Andrée 'Nadine' Dumon, ... wisten via dit netwerk ruim 1.000 mensenlevens te redden. vrt.be/vrtmax/a-z/hie…
