Very tranquil and respectful last resting place for 372 Dutch WW2 Resistance Fighters (in Dutch, Het Verzet). Among those buried here lies Jannetje Johanna Schaft, known worldwide as Hannie Schaft, The Girl With Red Hair.
All of those buried here were exhumed from mass burial sites close to this national monument. All except Hannie. She had been executed at one of the coastal sand dunes and buried under only a few centimeters of sand. She was the only female Dutch Resistance Fighter to be executed. Sadly, the execution took place just 3 weeks before the end of the war in The Netherlands, during the period in which the occupying Nazis and the Resistance groups had both agreed that there would be no more executions by either side. The Nazis made an exception for Hannie Schaft, her death was their retribution.
