After visiting the museum we headed to Paris, we had 3 terrific nights there. It was exhausting but I hope Brian and Louise enjoyed it!

Canada Poland Museum Adegem

We were looking for the Canadian cemetary in Adegem and came across the Canada Poland Museum. What an interesting museum. It appears that the man who started the museum was fulfilling his fathers,Gilbert Van Landschoot, dying wish of thanking the Canadian and Polish soilders who he was convinced saved his life. During WWII he would, unbeknownst to his family, help people escape from the Nazis however they were closing in on him when the Canadian and Polish soldiers arrived in his village.

The soilders stayed in with the villagers until they were deployed and protected the village. The soldiers were given clothes and keep while they were there and unfortunately many did not make it back.
