d. 2023

Photograph at the Robert Maistriau Memorial

Robert Maistriau is remembered for his significant role within the Belgian Resistance during World War II. He was honoured as one of the Righteous Among the Nations, a recognition of individuals who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Maistriau's notable action involved his participation in an operation targeting a train bound for Auschwitz, a stark symbol of the Nazi extermination program. His courage and efforts represent a powerful act of defiance against the atrocities of the era.
