Johan Herman Lubben (Johan)


 24-10-1893 Enschede      07-12-1944 Bergen-Belsen (51)
- Underground Press - Communists & Sympathizers - Heerlen -

    Johan Lubben was a miner. Last place of residence: Heerlerheide.
    The picturee and all of the following information can be found on scans posted by a family member at verzetsmuseum.org/dachau/ [1]. A summary of these documents can be found at humanitarisme.nl. [2]
    He was convicted of refusing to perform military service in 1916. At that time, general mobilization was in force in the neutral Netherlands. Humanitarisme.nl reports that his conscientious objection [3] was due to reading the books by Tolstoy. [4]
    Married to Johnna Scholten on June 14, 1919 in Enschede.
    During the occupation he distributed banned printed matter, such as Vrij Nederland and Het Parool. [5]
    Probably also De Vonk, as he was arrested on June 19, 1942, because of his connections to the C.P.N. (communist party). Although he does not appear as a fallen comrade in the archives of the CPN, our list also mentions CPN with his name, as he was arrested along with CPN people. See archive of the CPN Limburg in the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. [6]
    In a letter from the Red Cross to the family on October 25, 1945, it is assumed that he died in Neuengamme around mid-December 1944. So the registry extract of Heerlen reads: December 15, 1944 in Neuengamme, registered as such in Heerlen on December 8, 1950. He is said to have been seen in Neuengamme in December 1944 ( Reveille of the Red Cross, number 11/12, 1946)
    On September 21, 2015 "Eddy" wrote at oorlogsgravenstichting.nl: Johan Herman was deported from Amersfoort to Buchenwald. From there to Dachau and then to Natzweiler. From Natzweiler back to Dachau and from there to Neuengamme. Johan was finally transferred from Neuengamme to Bergen-Belsen, where he died on July 12, 1944. [9]
