You're standing at the memorial on the Meppelerstraatweg in Zwolle. It's a quiet spot with a heavy story. Here, on the 31st of March 1945, just weeks before liberation, five men were shot dead. It was a reprisal for an act of resistance. They were the last of nineteen men executed in Zwolle between October 1944 and March 1945.
