Arnold van Geenen lived in Vaesrade, municipality of Nuth.
He was miner No. 2999 in the State Mine Emma. Arrested on August 22, 1944 in Vaesrade, according to vriendenkringneuengamme.nl [1] because of evading labor deportation [2]. Unfortunately it does not say, how he as a miner had no exemption for that.
The person was brought into AMERSFOORT on August 26, 1944 (gev. no. 5846 and deported to Kl. Neuengamme on September 8, 1944.)  [3]
He was friends with Hein Cobben. In the last letter to his parents in Vaesrade (from camp Erika near Ommen), Hein Cobben writes at the end of the letter: I am here with Arnold van Geenen. Tell Jef to send his regards to Els Joling and that she should not forget him, because he will be back soon. [3]
On oorlogsbronnen.nl we read:
Until April 17, 1945 Arnold van Geenen was a prisoner in Neuengamme.
From 26 April 1945 to 3 May 1945 Arnold van Geenen was imprisoned on a ship in the Bay of Lübeck. [4]
He died on May 3, 1945 in the catastrophe in the Bay of Lübeck, near Kommando Neustadt, a sub-camp of Neuengamme.
His name is on the Cap Arcona [5] memorial in Neustadt to the victims of the catastrophe of several ships, of which the Cap Arcona was the largest. On Himmler’s orders, thousands of prisoners had been taken aboard there. The ships were bombed by the Royal Air Force, although they should have known that these were not troopships. See at Neuengamme. [5.1]
The two friends Arnold and Hein were not arrested on exactly the same day, but anyway they were both arrested by the fanatical Dutch National Socialists of the AKD, as they were initially imprisoned together at the latter’s headquarters in Ommen. They are therefore classified here in the category of unorganized resistance.
