Nazi collaborator is a label that still resonates in Belgium 75 years after the end of the Second World War. Peter Lenaerts grew up listening to his grandmother’s stories, about her brother Paul and how, one night in September 1944, he was dragged out of bed and nearly killed by an angry mob, about her brother Bert, who volunteered and fought in the horrors of the Eastern Front. Peter’s intrigued and goes digging in the archives to understand why his family took one side in the war and what happened to them because of that decision. He discovers that in war it’s never a simple story of winners and losers.
