All the fallen resistance people in Limburg
Piet Sijbers was a soap dealer. He was considered a communist by the municipality of Tegelen and was therefore arrested by the occupying forces. But according to his brother Frits he was never a communist at all, but probably a great admirer of the Berber-Moroccan freedom fighter Abd el Karim el-Khattabi [1]. A policeman warned him, but again according to his brother, Piet replied: “So what, I’m not a communist!” [2]. Nevertheless, he is in the CPN card file box, card 55 [3], with the note: Help to KPD emigrants from Germany, organization IRH (International Red Aid). [4]
Arrested in Tegelen on July 14, 1941, he was imprisoned in Maastricht, Hoge Schoorl, Amersfoort and Neuengamme.
Buried at the National Field of Honour in Loenen [5], grave D 185. [5]
