War memorial Venray

"1940-1945"

The texts on the second memorial read:

FORTY INHABITANTS OF "ST ANNA"
KILLED EN BURIED DURING THE MISERY OF WAR
OCTOBER 1944

Mental Hospital Sint Anna was badly hit during the Battle of Venray in the autumn of 1944. Many residents died in miserable circumstances due to fatigue or lack of medical facilities. There were also many people killed by the war violence itself. Their names were inscribed, lest we forget.

On this memorial are the names of 36 victims of war.

The text on the third memorial reads:

For all who gave their lives
for peace

freedom is to be passed on:

"Who closes his eyes for history
is blind for the future"
