On Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 11:11 a.m. we are launching a series of short films based on the book Van den Grooten Oorlog. Each time, we bring one testimony to life: the memories of ordinary men and women, Belgians, French, British and Germans, soldiers and civilians.

The films will appear on our YouTube channel. You can read more about the films under The book on film.
