War Memorial Holthees

This memorial commemorates the residents of Holthees who were killed or missing in World War II.

"1940-1945 Holthees and Smakt
Monument unveiled on October 3, 1999 by Mayors of Boxmeer, Venray and Vierlingsbeek. Designed by Jan Driessen. On the marble memorial stone are the names of the victims. The red triangle with bull's head is the symbol of our liberators. The three steel constructions symbolize the remains of houses and trees, a human being near despair, a cross ... The V-sign stands for Victory, the victory, not only of this war but of all evil. The beveled steel plates, the wings towards freedom ending in the steel cross, our faith, our freedom, our future ... Your future. "
