Let's go back in time:
On September 11, 1944, 10 residents of Schoorheide were shot. Two of them escaped this atrocity, albeit seriously injured. They were taken by handcart through the Balen fields during the night to the Gasthuis van Balen, where they were secretly cared for by local doctors. Ferdinand Ruymaekers (+1978) and Victor Gypen (+1989) carried the drama with them for many years and were able to tell the next generations about this atrocity.
