Tips
The memorial in Leek (municipality of Westerkwartier) is a sculpture consisting of 32 black metal beams that lie on top of each other and are staggered. This construction creates a V-shape. The memorial is over 4 meters high. The beams are 12 centimeters high and 12 centimeters wide. The V-shape of the monument symbolizes resistance and freedom. The black beams first bend oppressively over the viewer, but halfway they turn into 'wings' that stick wide open into the air. See 4en5mei.nl/oorlogsmonumenten/zoeken/2443/leek-herdenkingsmonument
