This walk (5 km) about war and resistance in Baarle is a tribute to Maria Verhoeven, popularly known as Miet Pauw. This courageous woman, risking her own life, saved several lives. Unfortunately, she herself died at the end of the war.
It is good to reflect on the horrors that people can cause. Every year, the schools in Baarle organize a commemoration of the liberation by transferring the resistance monument from the highest class of the primary school to the students who will succeed them. This is placed in an extensive program with attention to war and peace.
In memory of 'Miet Pauw', Maria Verhoeven.
* 30 - 11 - 1898
† 10 - 09 - 1944
