Buchenwald prisoner

[redcross]

I'm trying to learn something about

Gyselings, Fernand - born Ronse Belgium 24/03/1882

died Buchenwald 08/09/1944

prisoner # 54712

I know he was a Belgian, but probably not a Jew,

I know the Belgian Red Cross awarded him a Medal of Honor,

I'd like to learn something more about him,

any suggesstions?

thanks

[Herr General]

I will pm you the email adres of a lady at the archive of the Buchenwald memorial. She has helped me in the past.

If you go to the Belgian telephone directory website (www.wittegids.be) and fill in his family name in the "Wie zoek je?"-field and "Belgi?" in the "Waar?"-field, you will find that only 11 people in Belgium go by that family name. Maybe you can write them a letter?
