Kazerne Dossin – Memorial, Holocaust memorial and documentation center in Mechelen, Belgium.
The building houses extensive records and portraits of 25,845 Holocaust victims, along with detailed deportation lists from the World War II period.
From 1942 to 1944, the Dossin barracks served as a transit camp where 25,490 Jews and 353 Roma people were detained before deportation to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The permanent exhibition Every Name Matters emphasizes individual stories and personal experiences of those affected by the Holocaust through photographs and testimonies.
The documentation center maintains a searchable database for visitors researching family histories, with staff available to assist in accessing historical records.
The museum incorporates both the original military barracks building and a modern structure, creating a bridge between historical preservation and contemporary documentation.
