摘要：On the morning of 8 August 1956,
262 coal miners at Bois du Cazier
in the Belgian town of Marcinelle
died in a horrendous fire 975 metres inside
mine shafts. The gruesome circumstances,
and the men themselves who perished in
the inferno, will forever be remembered in
Belgian history.
Those memories, and the awareness of
mining as one of the world's most dangerous
occupation, were marked in a series of
events in July and August in the Wallonian
community adjacent to Charleroi. The
events included a solemn commemoration
attended by 3,000 that saw the unveiling of
a bronze sculpture commissioned by the
Italian trade union institute, Patronato
INCA-CGIL.
