Belgian Students Maintain Resistance
Belgian Students Maintain Resistance
The Paper Opens With A summary of student life during the whole period of the occupation. It tells how students exposed the Nazis who tried to dominate their organisations, set up illegal groups and published tracts and journals of resistance. Flemish and Walloon students each had their organisations, while at the same time, after the first illegal meeting in Louvain during the session of 1941-1942, effective contact was also maintained throughout the country. Faculty organisations proved to be the foundation of student resistance. During 1944 the student resistance movement achieved full co-ordination with the general struggle.
Then follows a series of General Directions from the National Students Group which we are quoting, for they exemplify the student's conception of his task in liberated Europe.
