Limburg 1940-1945,
Main Menu
L.O. was originally the abbreviation for Limburgse Onderduikershulp, Limburgian Aid to People in hiding. Shortly after it was founded, it was integrated into the Landelijke organistie voor hulp aan Onderduikers (National Organization for Aid to People in hiding) with the same abbreviation. Both organizations only came into existence in 1943 as a result of an initiative by clergy people to get existing and new groups to work together more effectively. In the beginning there were these two organizations, due to the strong “pillarisation” of the Netherlands at that time, which meant that every organization was religiously or ideologically oriented. So in the north the LO stood mainly on a reformed basis, in Limburg and some adjoining areas in Noord-Brabant and Gelderland there was the sometimes so-called ‘Roman’ LO. In the LO province of Limburg, the teacher Jan Hendrikx from Venlo became the leader. He was better known as Ambrosius, who had studied in Nijmegen. This city is located only a few kilometers north of the Limburg provincial border. Nijmegen played an important role in the Limburg LO. This had to do with the Catholic University of Nijmegen (KUN, today Radboud University), where mainly students from the Catholic south of the country, including Limburg, studied.
