Memorial Jan Campert

This plaque was moved to another location in Lieshout on September 18, 2020. She is now hanging in the hall of the village hall.

In 1985, the students of the Sint Jozef School noticed that no memorial service was held in Lieshout. To this end, a plaque was placed on the wall of the town hall, but that town hall has not been in use for years. Lieshout belongs to Laarbeek and the commemoration is held at the bell near the town hall of Beek en Donk (Laarbeek).
Because of this it was decided to move the plaque to the village hall in the hall opposite the entrance of the school. The QR code refers to a page of the local history circle. http://qrco.de/bbhEQU
