Arthur Haulot

Baron Arthur Haulot (Angleur near Liège, November 15, 1913 - May 24, 2005) was a Belgian journalist, humanist and poet who served, during World War II as an active member of the military resistance against German foreign occupation also known in Western Europe as "the Resistance". As president of the "Jeunes Socialistes" (young socialists), he was made prisoner and taken to the concentration camp of Dachau.

Since his liberation from the camp, he has actively worked to speak about the atrocities of the Nazi regime and its efforts to impose a regime that precludes free speech and many forms of freedom and liberties, this leading to extermination of any opponents to the regime, and many people considered as "passively opposed" to the Regime, like the Jews, the Roma and many others.

He died in Belgium as a result of a thrombosis.
