Fifty years ago, on January 23, 1974, 23 teenage boys died in a fire at the boarding school of the Heilig Hartcollege in Heusden-Zolder. There was never a lawsuit, the fire was no longer allowed to be discussed at school, and there was no attention for relatives and survivors. How is that possible? Leon, André, Marc, Peter and Patrick witnessed the fire and testified to HLN: “The worst thing is that boys also died who had already reached the bottom safely.”
