The fallen resistance people in Limburg

Emile Antoon Felix Goossens (Emile)

Het Grote Gebod – L.O.

Emile Goossens was a vicar in Echt 1936-1945. For allied pilots, Jewish fellow citizens and resistance fighters in hiding, he set up escape routes as far away as Belgium and northern France. In early 1944, vicar Goossens had to go into hiding, because there were well-founded suspicions that the SiPo was watching him. After some wandering, he finally ended up with J. Simmelink in Nunhem through the intervention of Father Damen. There he was arrested by coincidence on June 29, 1944. Cammaert III, p.210 [1.3]. See also chapter VIb, p.625. [1.6b]
