L1mburg Central: Deportation of hundreds of Jews commemorated

This is L1mburg Central from Thursday 25 August.

Exactly 80 years ago, the first major deportation of Jews from Limburg to German concentration camps took place. They had to report to a school in Maastricht from all over the province. Only a handful returned alive.

The Preuvenemint started again today in Maastricht. It has been canceled for the past 2 years because of corona. Thursday afternoon at three o’clock the gates of the event on the Vrijthof opened for a networking drink.

The Limburg Festival is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The fact that the festival has been around for so long is mainly made possible by the help of all volunteers at each edition.

This whole week we follow the Limburg sports talents of the future. Who should we keep an eye on? Today: the 12-year-old Tom Hendriks from Milsbeek. He started on the golf course at a very young age. He now plays international tournaments and hopes to become a real professional in the future.

The Belgian Grand Prix is ​​on the program of Formula 1, on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps. Many Limburgers go to the Ardennes to cheer on Max Verstappen.
