Notes about William Louis Maria PINXTEREN

Nonkel William, een oom van mijn vader was, zoals eigenlijk heel de familie, lid van de Witte Brigade, Fidelio, de ondergrondse weerstand tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog. Hij is tesamen met enkele andere Hoogstratenaren opgepakt en weggevoerd naar een concentratiekamp in Buchenwald (D). Daar zou hij volgens de verhalen van overlevenden zijn neergeschoten tijdens een ontsnappingspoging.

Buchenwald was tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog een concentratiekamp in nazi-Duitsland in een bosrijke omgeving nabij de stad Weimar. Het bijna volledig van de buitenwereld afgesloten kamp werd in 1937 aangelegd door SS'ers en gevangenen
