The Universities of Namur Joined the Resistance (1943–1945)

On May 8, 1945, Nazi Germany surrendered, marking the end of World War II in Europe. In Namur, as elsewhere, the conflict took a heavy toll on the civilian population, affecting every aspect of daily life. Students and faculty members—some of whom joined the Resistance—demonstrated remarkable organizational skills to ensure that academic life continued smoothly. The archives held at the Moretus Plantin University Library (BUMP) preserve the memory of this pivotal period in our university’s history.
