Mayor calls for Black Liberators to be commemorated at Margraten

November 11, 2025

The governor of Limburg, Emile Roemer, has joined calls for a permanent memorial to be established at the US cemetery in Margraten to black US soldiers who took part in the liberation of the Netherlands.

Alain Krijnen, the mayor of Eijsden-Margraten, wrote to the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) urging them to reinstate two panels commemorating the achievements of black servicemen.

It emerged at the weekend that the panels had been taken out of an exhibition at the cemetery’s visitor centre earlier this year. The ABMC said they had been rotated out of the exhibition and were still in use, but historians said it appeared to have been prompted by Donald Trump’s anti-diversity policies.

Some 8,000 US soldiers are buried at Margraten after being killed while fighting in the Netherlands or the neighbouring regions during the Second World War. They include 172 African-American servicemen.

The Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank, contacted the ABMC in March challenging its supposed failure to comply with Trump’s orders to cancel diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programmes across the US government. The ABMC placed its chief diversity officer, Priscilla Rayson, on “administrative leave” shortly afterwards…moar picrel sorry for the bs story greetings from NL

Meteors burn up in the atmosphere when meteoroids, which are small fragments of rock or metal from space, enter at high speeds and create bright flashes of light as they disintegrate. This process occurs due to the intense heat generated by the compression of air in front of the meteoroid, causing it to burn up before reaching the ground.
