All the fallen resistance people in Limburg
Henri Hendrickx, together with his brother Sef, ran the Schöndeln farm in Roermond. Around the beginning of March 1943, the brothers were arrested (for aiding the enemy, i.e. helping escaped French prisoners of war to get home to France). Both were sentenced to long prison terms. Initially they were imprisoned in Maastricht and Utrecht, later in Rheinbach, in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and finally in a penitentiary in Bützow.
Jozef probably died in Bützow on April 23, 1945, because from then on he was not seen there by his brother.
On May 3, 1945, Henri Hendrickx was liberated by the Soviet army in Bützow. He returned to Dirksberg on 28-06-45. His health was so poor that he died of tuberculosis and meningitis on September 5, 1945. He is buried in the old cemetery at Herkenbosscherweg in Roermond.
