The Enclosure of the executed (French: Enclos des fusillés; Dutch: Erepark der gefusilleerden) is a small cemetery in the Brussels municipality of Schaerbeek, where 365 resistance fighters of both world wars are buried.
[1] During the First World War, the shooting range was seized by the German forces who executed thirty-five people there, including Jozef Baeckelmans, Philippe Baucq, Louis Bril, Edith Cavell, and Gabrielle Petit.
[2] During the Second World War, another 261 people were executed by German soldiers, including Youra Livchitz, known for stopping a Holocaust train, saving dozens of Jews transported to Auschwitz concentration camp.
In 1970, another monument was erected, honouring the unknown Belgian political prisoners of the Second World War.
