Sporen die bleven.
In de herfst van 1944 werden in de streek tussen Maas en Peel ruim 3000 jongens en mannen bij razzia's door de nazi's opgepakt en voor dwangarbeid gedeporteerd naar Duitsland. Deze gebeurtenissen kostten 120 mannen het leven en veroorzaakten een blijvende wond bij de overlevenden en bij hen die thuis achterbleven.
Uit Helenaveen werden 143 personen gedeporteerd. Van hen overleefden 26 mannen de oorlog niet.
