The monument initially stood on the edge of the forest, but was later placed in the middle of the forest because it became a more general war memorial.
The monument initially commemorates the refugee Jacob de Vries. He was murdered by retreating Germans on the liberation day of Eelde. In addition, the monument commemorates Willem Harm Rutgers, a resident of Paterswolde who lost his life during the war.
The monument was erected on the initiative of the residents of the Onlandsweg.
