More about this memorial. The memorial was erected in 1961, with the names panels subsequently added in 1988.
Also see . . . Den Burg, De Goede Herder (Nationaal Comitι 4 en 5, in Dutch). Excerpt (in translation):
The monument symbolizes "the innocence of the lamb in distress, seeking protection with the shepherd, and ultimately finding liberation from horror in death." The majority of the war victims on Texel were not resistance fighters, but innocent people who fell victim to the violence of war.(Submitted on August 2, 2026.)
The monument was unveiled on May 4, 1961, by Mrs. M. Jullens-Lenting and Mrs. A.W. Timmer-Witte (widows of Texel residents who died during the Second World War). The unveiling took place in the presence of representatives from numerous organizationsand institutions, several widows, and the then-mayor, De Koning.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, June 1, 20263.
