Amsterdam_XXXThis relief is a 1️⃣9️⃣4️⃣5️⃣ liberation monument at the Weesperzijde. The inscription means “Weesperzijde Quarter Liberation.” It shows a woman breaking chains, holding a child, with a defeated serpent below—symbols of freedom and the end of oppression. A lion represents the Netherlands, and an airplane above likely refers to the Allied forces. 🐍🦁⛓️💥🛩️<br>
<br>
Such reliefs were placed in Amsterdam after World War II to mark the end of the war and honor the victims. The year 1945 marks the moment of liberation. 🇳🇱 🆓<br>
