Of the Jewish residents of Valkenburg and the surrounding villages, approximately half did not survive the war. To see this, compare the number of the holocaust victims with that of the Jewish survivors. This list includes people who came from elsewhere and one who went into hiding in Heerlen, but under the protection of a citizen of Valkenburg. The source of this list is for the most part the work of Jan Diederen: his book 42 Jewish Valkenburgers arrested and murdered and the article Jewish victims in Valkenburg on the site of the Stichting Struikelstenen Valkenburg.
