Statistics

Our database currently contains 865 people. Of these, 80 are women, including 36 women resisters. This does not mean that the war did not take place for women in Limburg. In Valkenburg, for example, we hardly see any difference between the number of female (19) and male (25) victims of the Shoah.
Below you will find the number of people who played a role in the war per group or location.
