Monument for the evacuees, Groesbeek The monuments reads:
"The Second World War caused the people a lot of grief too. In September 1944 they had to flee from the violence of war, that had made victims here and elsewhere already. On their return in the spring of 1945 all their properties had been destroyed. The armaments left behind killed and wounded many people. The rebuilding, often under wretched circumstances, took many years.

The citizens of the present commemorate with this monument the citizens of the past, September 1995"
