Memorial to Resistance Workers, Nijmegen
This is in the form of a pelican, a symbol of compassion. It commemorates four policemen (three detectives and a photographer), members of the Nijmegen Resistance who were arrested after the failed assassination attempt on the SD traitor Ederveen. After a trial at Velp they were executed by firing squad in the dune near Overveen on 6 June 1944. The statue, by Ben van Pinxtern, was erected on 12 September 1987
