‘De Luisterkei’ was erected in memory of the local resistance movement, which, in the final days of the war, risked their own lives to hide a number of American pilots underground.
Supplies and care were provided from the farms on the Heieind.
At the time, there was a German training ground for dropping cement bombs in the vicinity of the hiding place. A German bunker can still be seen at this location. The monument was unveiled on 21 September 1999, to mark the 45th anniversary of the liberation of Hoogeloon.
