TO C. H. M. THE “COMPANION” WHOSE CARE AND SYMPATHY GREATLY LIGHTENED THE DARK YEARS FOR ME, AND COMFORTED THE LIVES OF SO MANY SUFFERERS, THIS VOLUME IS, WITH DEVOTED AFFECTION, GRATEFULLY DEDICATED

THESE reminiscences of prison years in Brussels, during the entire German occupation, aim merely at giving an accurate account of the city’s moral atmosphere, and of certain events which came to me first-hand and have not yet been recorded. Only indubitable facts are related, while many of, perhaps, greater and more tragic interest, already made public, or reaching me through roundabout channels, have been omitted.
