Egbert Snijder Memorial Edam

The monument was unveiled on February 12, 1949, four years after the execution of Egbert Snijder and Klaas de Boer in Haarlem. Walraven van Hall was then also shot.

The monument was designed by Jan Cornelis Bander. The statue consists of two parts: the base in the form of a square stone pillar and a bronze statue. Jaap Kaas kept the column and the bronze statue was cast by Albert N. Binder.

On the front are the names of the fallen resistance members of KP Waterland. Egbert Snijder and Koen Rozendaal were commander of Knokploeg Waterland during the war.
