History of Sorts

Petrus Antonius Aalders was just a young man who wanted to determine his future.

Petrus was born on April 2, 1924, in Gennep, Limburg, the Netherlands and by trade, was a professional hairdresser. After being called up for the Arbeitseinsatz, forced labour in Germany, he went into hiding in Eindhoven. Now and then, he returned to his parents in the Zandstraat in Gennep. During one of those visits, the Germans were waiting for Peter. He tried to flee and received a gunshot in the knee. After a stay at the penitentiary hospital—he was transferred to Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp, where he was to work as a hairdresser. He died at the camp from typhus. The date of death given is March 31, 1945; Peter died two days before his 21st birthday.

Just a random victim of an evil regime.
