St-Joris-WInge Belgian War Graves

In front of the war memorial of Sint-Joris-Winge are two graves of political prisoners of the Second World War.

MARS George, died in Leuven in 1943

VEUGELEN Philip, died in the concentration camp in Schandelah, Brunswick (D) on December 20, 1944. Philip was one of the victims of the raid in Meensel-Kiezegem on 11/08/1944. He was the only non-resident, along with his son, of Meensel-Kiezegem who were arrested during the raid. This is the reason why he was buried at this war memorial in Sint-Joris-Winge and not in Meensel-Kiezegem.
