6. Egbert Snijder Monument
The monument was designed by Jan Cornelis Bander from Amsterdam. The statue consists of two parts: the base in the form of a square natural stone pillar and a bronze statue. Jaap Kaas carved the column and the bronze statue was cast by Albert N. Binder. The monument was unveiled on 12 February 1949, exactly four years after the execution in Haarlem of Egbert Snijder and Klaas de Boer. The monument was initially located on the other side of the square. Due to the construction of the bus station, the monument was moved to its current location. - Wikipedia (in translation)
