In the fall of 1944 in the area between Meuse and Peel, over 3000 adolescents and men were rounded up in raids by the nazis and deported to Germany for forced labor.
These events cost 120 men their lives

From the municipality of Kessel 83 persons were deported.
Of those, 4 men did not survive the war.
