EDITORS COMMENTS
"This impressive Zetten Liberation Monument in Holland, designed by G. Berns and inaugurated on September 24, 1984, stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the liberation of the Netherlands from Nazi occupation. The monument takes the form of a symbolic dugout, representing the many civilians and military personnel who lost their lives and are buried in the area. Rising from the slit trench is a shining V made of stainless steel, which symbolizes the liberation and victory, as well as the Dutch word for freedom, "Vrijden." The inscription on a black granite table pays tribute to the Allied forces, with the coats of arms of Great Britain, the United States, Belgium, Canada, and Holland displayed on five tiles. This monument, adopted by the Rev. van Lingen School, serves as a powerful reminder of the past and the importance of freedom." (249 words)
