ETO-Tours.nl and the educational school program
In cooperation with the Dutch “Never Forget Them” Foundation and the St. Joseph School in Bastogne, Jos Bex of ETO-Tour participates in an educational school program to keep the WWII history alive and growing. By raising awareness in the children, commemoration can be carried forward for generations to come. Often, this young generation is unaware of what happened in their own backyard some 60 years ago. We bring the ‘never forget’ message so they can understand that their participation in commemoration will keep the heritage alive.
