- More in our story Resistance in Valkenburg
Vicar in Meerssen since 1928, 1944 pastor of the male youth work in Limburg, parish priest in Roermond. Pierre Schunck of the L.O. Valkenburg wrote: In 1942 I heard from vicar Berix that a vicar Geelen from Meerssen hid two boys in my father’s cave, who were wanted by the Germans.
Cammaert: Vicar Th.GH Geelen from Meerssen, in collaboration with members of the former Jonge Wacht, helped submerging young people in a cave since 1942. (The Jonge Wacht, Young Guard was a catholic youth organiation, which was forbidden by the Germans, because only national-socialist organisations were still allowed.)
