    The resistance monument reminds the residents of Nieuwlande (municipality of Hoogeveen) of the resistance against the German occupier during the Second World War.

    Johannes Post was the driving force behind the resistance in Nieuwlande. He was born on October 4, 1906 in Hollandscheveld near Hoogeveen. During the occupation, he abandoned his prosperous agricultural business in Oosterhesselen (Drenthe) to devote himself entirely to resistance work. He played an important role, especially in the national Fighting Squads. Post was leader of the KP in the north of the Netherlands and undertook many sabotage actions and robberies on distribution offices and prisons. On July 16, 1944, Post was shot in the dunes near Bloemendaal. The prominent resistance fighter was buried at the Honorary Cemetery in Overveen.
