The LRE Forum, Liberation Route Europe’s annual event, is now in its 4th edition. An important element of the Forum is the LRE Conference, with which we hope to inform, inspire and connect. It reunites all of the LRE’s members, network, stakeholders, and the general public. We aim to give an update on the LRE’s activities, to inform participants about upcoming projects, and to provide interesting in-depth presentations and panel discussions.
The next edition of the LRE Conference will take place on February 4th, 2020 in Brussels. The Conference is free to attend and open to everyone. The programme will include in-depth panels and discussions about the importance of remembrance and memory as well as a keynote from Daniel Libeskind, architect and supporter of LRE's projects.
The next day, February 5th, the LREXPO will take place and provide our partners with a unique opportunity to showcase and discover the many European destinations sharing the heritage and experiences of the Second World War.
Take a look at the details of the Conference here.

Remembrance tourism in Alsace
|
|
The liberation of Alsace began in mid-November 1944, 75 years ago. Alsace was the last French region to be freed and its liberation happened in stages.
Liberation Route Europe Foundation has recently developed new content related to the Alsace campaign and the liberation. Visit Europe Remembers website’s history section to read for instance about the liberation of Alsace or the Battle of the Colmar Pocket.
To know more about the historical locations and remembrance sites to visit in Alsace, we invite you to consult the new brochure recently released by LRE’s member ADT Alsace (Alsace Destination Tourisme). The document provides a description in English, French, and German, and practical information about historical places related either to the 1870 war, the First World War or the Second World War.
