The fallen resistance people in Limburg
Jan Evers ran a car repair shop, was married and father of one child. They lived in Nijmegen.
He began typing and distributing illegal newspapers, including Vrij Nederland, in 1941 [1.1].
Besides that, the website of Kamp Vught (German: Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch) states in his life description [1.1]:
Johannes was arrested by the SD (Security Service) in Arnhem during 1941 and subsequently imprisoned in Scheveningen for four months. Shortly after his release, Johannes was suspected of transporting ammunition and was jailed for 18 days in Arnhem Prison. On April 29, 1944, Johannes was arrested for the last time and then transferred to Kamp Vught because he had probably been betrayed. On July 21, 1944, Johannes was shot by the Germans near the camp.
He helped the KP (armed group) of Nijmegen to free resisters from prison. He also transported weapons and helped Jews. Contact person for the LO-Breda. [4]
On April 29, 1944, he was arrested at home [6] in connection with the transport of Jews, probably as a result of treason. Shot in Vught concentration camp on July 21, 1944, [1] probably also in revenge for the attack on German soldiers in Nijmegen. [2]
Listed on the honor roll 1940-1945 [3]
