The fallen employees of Het Parool<\/em><\/h3>\n

Every year, we organise the 5 February Remembrance Day to commemorate the employees of the illegal resistance newspaper Het Parool in the Netherlands who were shot, killed or ended up in a concentration camp or prison as a result of the German occupation in World War II.<\/p>\n

The first Parool trial took place between 12 and 19 December 1942. At this trial, 23 men whom the German police had arrested and detained over the previous eighteen months for producing and distributing the then illegal Het Parool were prosecuted. On 5 February 1943, thirteen of them were executed on Leusderheide, six were sent to concentration camps and three were sentenced to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n
