Story · Bevrijdingsmonument

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at the Liberation Monument in Winsum. Look at the stone bird on the pedestal. Its wings are spread as it rises toward the sky. Lots of people take it for a phoenix, the bird that rises from its own ashes. But that's a mistake. It's simply a bird flying free.
