Wijchen Peace Monument
Wijchen Peace MonumentWijchen Peace Monument
‘To all those who gave their lives for peace, wherever in the world.’ This is the inscription on this monument, which commemorates the suffering caused by all wars. The monument was designed by Henk Scheffer, a resident of Wijchen, to mark the 40th anniversary of Wijchen’s liberation. On Saturday 8 September 1984, the Queen’s Commissioner for Gelderland, Mr De Bruijne, came to Wijchen to unveil the memorial. Commemorative events are held at the monument, including the commemoration of the liberation of Wijchen and the surrounding area on 17 September. The monument is also intended as a warning against the rise of fascism and racism. The white concrete column symbolises ‘good’. The shields, made of hot-dip galvanised steel, symbolise evil. Evil attempts to penetrate good, seeking to destroy it, but is repelled because good ultimately has greater strength.

From the end of September 1944, it then became the British headquarters. King George VI also paid a visit to boost the morale of the troops. At the front of the entrance to the Kloosterpark stands a monument providing further information. The convent is now privately owned.

Pater Sebald Lindersstraat
Pater Sebald LindersstraatPater Sebald Lindersstraat
Father Sebald Linders, a Friar Minor born in Mook, was a follower of St Francis, but not a contemporary like all the other followers of the Saint of Assisi or St Clare who had streets named after them in Alverna. Father Sebald Linders owed this honour to his work in the Resistance. The friar, who did not shy away from taking up arms when necessary, and whose main contribution lay in sheltering Jewish children, was betrayed and shot by the Germans in Vught at the age of 37. On Wednesday 9 September 2015, Father Sebald Linders will be posthumously awarded the Yad Vashem ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ honour.
