Verzetsmonument, Utrecht, War memorial at Domplein, Utrecht, Netherlands
The monument features a ten-meter limestone statue of a female figure holding a torch, standing on a four-meter natural stone pedestal.
Prince Bernhard unveiled this memorial on May 4, 1949, commemorating the fourth anniversary of Utrecht's liberation from German occupation during World War II.
The monument includes a poem by Jan Engelman engraved on its base, expressing remembrance for those who fought for justice during wartime.
The memorial stands at Domplein 21 in Utrecht, near the Dom Tower, and hosts annual commemoration ceremonies every May 4th.
The selection of a female figure for the monument reflects the substantial participation of Utrecht women in resistance activities during World War II.
