    Tips

    From a distance, one might mistake it for a typical wayside cross, like the small, sacred monuments found in many places. But upon closer inspection, the true meaning of this memorial reveals itself to the observer: to commemorate the many victims claimed by war and tyranny in so many places. Thus, they remain a significant symbol even today – despite the significant time gap between then and the present, these monuments lose none of their relevance.
    For such a war memorial, regardless of nationality, language, or name, is always a testament to the horrors of war and tyranny. They therefore all have two essential functions, and this continues anew for each generation:
    -1- To commemorate and remember the victims
    -2- To remind the observer of the need to maintain peace

      Great location to erect a memorial to remember those who gave their lives fighting for our freedom.
