This trail focuses on the experiences of David Shentow, one of the only survivors of the Belgian Jewish slave labourers, and his story of forced labour in constructing a 4km concrete road the 'Chemin des Juifs' (the 'Jews Road') close to Hardelot and Condette and his experiences at one of the main Jewish concentration camps, Lager Tibor, at Dannes. This is one of several trails exploring the little known story of the Holocaust and slave labour along the coast in Nord Pas de Calais not far from Boulogne and shows that the reach of Hitler's slave archipelago reached within sight of England. The start of the trail is 8.5 km south of Boulogne and can be found by proceeding to the village of Condette, taking the signs to Château d'Hardelot (geo-location = 50.647020, 1.612536) and then walking down the Rue de la Source, to the start point of the Jews Road, off the road to the right. (geo-location = 50.646147, 1.608720)
