On 7 March 1945, the German occupiers executed fifteen members of the resistance; a reprisal for the murder of police officer Willem Zirkzee by Hannie Schaft and Truus Oversteegen. Because the occupiers forced passers-by to watch, several eyewitness accounts have been preserved. Sculptor Mari Andriessen, who hid Jewish people in his house during the war, made the bronze statue that was unveiled on 3 July 1949.
