Pater Sebald Lindersstraat
Father Sebald Linders, a Friar Minor born in Mook, was a follower of St Francis, but not a contemporary like all the other followers of the Saint of Assisi or St Clare who had streets named after them in Alverna. Father Sebald Linders owed this honour to his work in the Resistance. The friar, who did not shy away from taking up arms when necessary, and whose main contribution lay in sheltering Jewish children, was betrayed and shot by the Germans in Vught at the age of 37. On Wednesday 9 September 2015, Father Sebald Linders will be posthumously awarded the Yad Vashem ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ honour.
