Héctor

Héctor Martínez is a fiction writer whose work often draws inspiration from the complexities of war. He is the author of La Dama de Belleville and regularly publishes short stories online, some of which have been featured in the literary magazine Letralia. He created this tour after noticing how many powerful wartime stories unfolded in Brussels during World War II. He realised that although many of these stories are well documented, they remain difficult for visitors to access because of language barriers, scattered sources, and the difficulty of reading the city without historical context. Drawing on research and storytelling, Héctor has crafted an experience that connects these stories to the streets where they happened, so that each guest can begin to imagine what it meant to live in Occupied Brussels.
