Brussels Jewish Museum Reopened Its Doors With Dedication Of The Four Victims In May Attack
Almost four months after a shooting attack left four people dead, the Jewish Museum of Belgium in Brussels reopened its doors on Sunday.
The reopening, which coincided with the 15th European Day of Jewish Culture, took place during an official event attended by several political, cultural, diplomatic and religious personalities, including Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo.
“We don’t want to serve the interests of extremists who want to muffle our culture,” said Philippe Blondin, the museum director, according to a report by the European Jewish Press. “We wanted to reopen our doors as soon as possible, but it wasn’t immediately possible because the Belgian authorities had to do their investigation work,” he said.
“Of course, it will be different now. We carry the burden and weight of this event and this wound will stay with us. It will not be destroyed with time. But we carry on,” he added.
