Cancellation International Commemoration Monument of Tolerance 18 November 2021

Due to the deteriorating situation around corona, the Foundation of the Monument of Tolerance has had to decide to cancel the International Commemoration that was planned on November 18, 2021 at the Monument of Tolerance in Haelen. We regret this tremendously but we think it is not responsible.

On the database of our website www.monumentoftolerance.com we want to give the fallen a face. Through intensive national and international research we have succeeded, to give a face to more than 215 fallen soldiers. On the website additional information can be found with backgrounds and photographs of these casualties and the circumstances under which these young men lost their lives.

Many of the photographs of the deceased are also included in the program booklet produced for the occasion of the memorial service. From 19th November the booklet will be available -free of charge at the town hall in Heythuysen, Bezoekerscentrum Leudal (Leudalmuseum) or via info@monumentoftolerance.com.

We hope that next year - on Thursday, November 17, 2022 - we will be able to organize this international commemoration in the usual way again.
