More than the architecture of the house, the plaque reminds us of its history. This is where Belgian writer Adolphe Nysenholc once lived. After the Shoah, he managed to overcome his tragic fate of becoming an orphan. His literary output spans three different genres, from essays on cinema such as ‘Chaplin, l'âge d'or du comique’ (Chaplin, the Golden Age of Comedy) to theatre, with plays performed across the globe; from the US to Jerusalem, including ‘Kammerspiel’, a play of the absurd in which the character disappears into a room to clear his mind to, finally, autobiographical novels such as ‘Bubelé, l'enfant à l'ombre’.
