Since 2010, a new Memorial at the Cemetery of the Crematorium of Reutlingen has been inaugurated with the names of the victims who died in 1944 because of hardships at the airfield of Hailfingen. Also Barend Koekoek is mentioned here. To read is "Koekkoek 1910-1944".


The editors of the Jewish Monumnt (Joods Monument) have made an investigation regarding the place of death of Barend Koekoek. It appeared to have been Hailfingen Tailfingen, the airfield nearby the concentrationcamp Natzweiler-Struthof. The remains of the victims who have died because of hardships, have been brought to the Crematorium "Unter den Linden" in Reutlingen and buried together in a massgrave. Also the ashes of Barend Koekoek.
