Ingeniør Knut Kuløy kom til Falstad 25. mai 1943. Han var arrestert 28. februar sammen med en rekke studenter og andre tilknyttet motstandsgrupper på NTH i Trondheim. På Falstad ble han satt til å være byggeleder for den nye kommandantboligen øst for leiren. Den 29. oktober 1943 fylte han 29 år, og medfangene laget i den anledning et gratulasjonshefte med dikt og karikaturtegninger. Denne siden fra heftet viser Kuløys karakteristiske lange skikkelse iført fangefrakk. I desember samme år ble Kuløy og mange flere satt på transport til Tyskland, der han satt i leirene Sachsenhausen og Bergen-Belsen. Han døde i Bergen-Belsen kort tid før frigjøringen.
Gratulasjonsheftet ble gitt til Falstadsenterets samling av Kuløys familie i 2008, sammen med flere andre gjenstander. Blant disse var en byste, som familien fikk laget til minne om Knut i 1946. Bysten er utformet av billedhugger Leirdal. Falstadsenteret fikk også overlevert frakken som Knut Kuløy hadde brukt på Falstad. Hans søster hadde møtt ham på stasjonen i Trondheim da han ble sendt på transport sørover for å gi ham en varmere frakk. Frakken fra Falstad og de andre gjenstandene tok hun vare på til sin død i 2008.
Engineer Knut Kuløy arrived Falstad May 25th 1943. He was arrested in February along with a number of students and others affiliated with resistance groups at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) in Trondheim. At Falstad, he became the construction manager for the new commander's residence east of the camp. On October 29th 1943 he turned 29 and in this occasion his fellow prisoners a booklet for him with poems and cartoons. This page from the booklet shows Kuløy's characteristic long figure wearing a prisoner coat. In December the same year, Kuløy and many other prisoners were sent to Germany. He was imprisoned in Sachsenhausen and later in Bergen-Belsen, where he died in shortly before liberation.
The booklet was given to the Falstad Centre's collection by Kuløy's family in 2008, along with several other items. Among these was a bust, made in memory of Knut in 1946. The bust was designed by sculptor Leirdal. The Falstad Centre also recieved the coat that Knut Kuløy wore at Falstad. When he was sent to Germany, his sister met him at the station in Trondheim to give him a warmer coat. She kept the coat from Falstad and other items until her death in 2008.
