context_page_description: Børge Johannes Lauritsen was a merchant and member of the Danish resistance executed by the German occupying power.
context_section_description: The January 1945 issue of the resistance newspaper Frit Danmark (Free Denmark) reported on the execution of the eight resistance members including Lauritsen.
  On 22 June 1945 the remains of Lauritsen were found in Ryvangen and the same day an inquest in the Department of Forensic Medicine of the university of Copenhagen showed that he died from three gunshot wounds in the chest. The remains of at least six of the others executed with him were likewise exhumed in Ryvangen and transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine.
  On 26 June 1945 Lauritsen as well as Jørgen Rydder, who was executed with him and like him born in Års, were buried in their home town.
  A memorial stone for Lauritsen and 90 other resistance members also exhumed in Ryvangen and buried in their respective home towns was laid down in Ryvangen Memorial Park.
