 In common with other countries , there are numerous veterans ' associations ( known as " Fraternelle " or " Amicale " in French ) and Belgian towns , particularly Bastogne , are frequently visited by veterans from other countries . There are also numerous war museums around the country , including the Royal Museum of the Army and Military History in Brussels , which aim to inform the public about the war . The Holocaust is commemorated in Belgium by both memorials and museums ; the prison at Fort Breendonk has been preserved as a museum and has been open to the public since 1947 . Since the passing of the Holocaust denial law in 1995 , it is illegal to deny the holocaust .
