In 1996 the Nationale Maatschappij der Belgische Spoorwegen - Société nationale des chemins de fer belges (NMBS-SNCB) [National Railway Company of Belgium] kindly provided the Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance (JMDR), predecessor of Kazerne Dossin, with reproductions of two photos of a freight car (A001067 and A001068). On 21 March 2007, a photo of a third-class passenger wagon (P003379) was added to the collection. The latter was also used for the national exhibition at the Belgian pavilion at Auschwitz State Museum and for its exhibition catalogue, both created by the JMDR.
