1940-1945. The resistance in the dutch province of Limburg
 | |  |
Studenten
On March 13, 1943, the Loyaliteitsverklaring (Declaration of Loyalty) was introduced, and students had until April 10 to sign it. Those who did not sign were no longer allowed to attend lectures. The male refusers were also called up to work in Germany. 86% of students refused to sign this declaration. The result was a sudden increase in the number of young men who wanted into hiding. Some of them joined the resistance. Many students from Limburg studied at the Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen, such as the regional LO chief, Jan Hendrikx from Venlo. This is one of the reasons for the close relations between Nijmegen and the LO province of Limburg. See more on this topic The outskirts of Limburg
.
In the woods near Helden, students in hiding took part in the experiment of a military training camp for people in hiding.
