    However, such war memorials, which one encounters so frequently along the way, regardless of nationality, language, or name, are always a testimony – still significant and relevant today – 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 people of the need to maintain peace
