Vrouw in het verzet, Bronze war memorial in Kenaupark, Haarlem, Netherlands.

Vrouw in het verzet is a bronze sculpture of a standing female figure in Kenaupark, Haarlem. The statue sits on a stone base and depicts a contemplative form honoring women who resisted occupation.

The memorial was unveiled in 1982 to honor those who fought against Nazi occupation. It commemorates the resistance movement that operated throughout the 1940s and the sacrifices made by its members.

This memorial honors Dutch women who fought against occupation through underground networks and dangerous missions. It stands as a place where their contributions are recognized and remembered by the community.

The memorial is located in a public park and accessible at any time without charge. It is easy to spot thanks to its prominent position and stone base in the open space.

The sculpture was created by Truus Menger-Oversteegen, herself a legendary resistance fighter who survived the war. This personal connection gives the memorial authenticity from someone who lived through those struggles directly.
