war memorials in Maastricht
During World War II, more than 400 residents of Maastricht were deported and murdered by the Nazis. With a stumbling stone a lasting memory is created for these victims. In addition to Jews, Sinti and Roma, also the political opponents (resistance fighters) of the Nazi regime.

Three outstanding events are worth mentioning for Maastricht during the occupation:

  1. The OD law suit of Maastricht
  2. On Tuesday evening, May 9, 1944, Jo Lokerman, the local leader of the LO, was lured into a trap by the traitor Gonnie Zeguers-Boere. Immediately thereafter, a large wave of arrests began in the city. More than fifty people were seized, seven of them lost their lives. See The Treason of Maastricht.
  3. On Dolle Dinsdag (Mad Tuesday, september 5, 1944), the liberation of 80 prisoners finally succeeded. See: The raid on the Maastricht prison on september 5th, 1944.

The liberation of Maastricht took place on September 13th and 14th, 1944, by the Old Hickory Division. On September 14, Maastricht west of the river Maas was liberated.
