is a memorial in the Lüsekamp area of the Elmpter Forest. It was built in September 1996 by the citizens of Niederkrüchten. It commemorates 14 men between the ages of 16 and 48 who died on April 26-27. December 1944 were shot dead by a firing squad of the German Wehrmacht. Among them were 12 Dutch citizens of the city of Roermond, a German and a Pole, who had previously hidden in order not to be deported to Germany for forced labor.
The memorial also commemorates 3,000 people from Roermond, who were forced to march from Roermond to Dülken on December 30, 1944 in freezing cold, and from there were deported to forced labor.
