Willem /Wim Jutjens (Stoffels)


 11-12-1903 Den Helder      25-03-1945 Düsseldorf (41)
- Aid to People in Hiding L.O. - Local contacts - Roermond - Forced Labor -



Het Grote Gebod – L.O.

    He was one of the “duikhoofden” (contact persons for those in hiding to the LO) in Roermond. [1]
    The German death certificate states that Willem Jutjens died in Düsseldorf on March 25, 1945. Düsseldorf (also) is given as his whereabouts. [2]
    The German Wikipedia reads: In 1944, around 35,000 foreign civilian workers, several thousand prisoners of war and concentration camp prisoners who had to perform forced labor lived in the approximately 400 camps in Düsseldorf. [3]
    So he died as a forced laborer. These civilian workers were given this name to distinguish them from prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates, although most of them were also forced laborers. It is not known whether Willem was arrested as a political prisoner or as part of the labor duty. But that doesn’t matter, because they were all treated equally badly, especially at the end of the war.
    He is buried on the Dutch field of honor of the war graveyard at Stoffeln cemetery in Düsseldorf-Oberbilk. 1230 Dutch war dead are buried on this Dutch field of honor. [4]
    His name is on the Roermond war memorial. [5]
    According to the Volksbund [6] and the OGS (war graves foundation) [8], Willem was born in Den Helder, but according to the Erelijst [7] he was born in Nijmegen. According to the OGS, he had no profession; according to the Erelijst, he was a wholesaler:
    He is listed in the “Erelijst 1940-1945” (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [7]
