Watersnoodmonument 'Beproefd maar niet gebroken' in Schouwen-Duiveland

You're standing by the Zuidhavenpoort, one of the old harbour gates of Zierikzee, and in front of you is a bronze woman. Look at the way she stands. One hand is raised, as if holding something back, and behind her a child is hiding. She's protecting it. This is the flood memorial, titled Beproefd maar niet gebroken, which means tested but not broken. It remembers the great North Sea flood of 1953.
