Description

Begijnendijk er under Første Verdenskrig relativt skånet fra direkte krigshandlinger. På dette monument står navnene på de faldne fra Første Verdenskrig og også, på en anden side, nogle bortførte borgere, der døde i en koncentrationslejr under Anden Verdenskrig.

Under den seneste verdenskrig var mange jøder skjult i Begijnendijk og den umiddelbare omegn. De fleste af disse skjulte kom fra Antwerpen. De blev ledsaget af Clementine Feyaerts-Van Rillaer (1894-1968) til stationen i Begijnendijk og videre til deres første skjulested. På den måde har hun i betydelig grad bidraget til redningen af jøder.

Udover en meget enkel mindetavle på kirkegårdsmuren i Betekom, findes der ikke monumenter for Anden Verdenskrig i kommunen. Til gengæld blev der i 2018 afsløret fem mindetavler vedrørende Første Verdenskrig i cortenstål: ved Demerbroen, ved St. Joseph-instituttet, på Molenberg (alle i Betekom), ved musikkolen og ved kirkegården (begge i Begijnendijk).
