Invitation to Book Presentation
We are delighted to invite you to the presentation of a richly illustrated publication that explores the history of the Canadian War Cemetery in Groesbeek, the final resting place of 2,618 soldiers from Canada, the British Commonwealth and allied nations. The volume will be published simultaneously in Dutch as Gezichten van de Bevrijding (Walburg Pers) and in English as Faces of Liberation (Amsterdam University Press). The book is both a tribute to the young men who gave their lives for freedom, democracy, and peace, and a testament to the ongoing transatlantic efforts—by Dutch volunteers and institutions alike—to preserve their memory. Kindly send your RSVP to welkom@vrijheidsmuseum.nl if you wish to participate.

Commemoration for the Canadian soldiers of Ukrainian descent
Commemoration together with Nijmegen4Ukraine with attention for the more than 40 Canadian soldiers of Ukrainian descent. Afterwards, flowers will be laid at all the graves of Canadian soldiers of Ukrainian descent, accompanied by volunteers from Faces to Graves.
Deeply encouraged by the heart-warming reactions of relatives in Canada we get the inspiration to continue. They sometimes even send us complete life stories!
We also get life stories from High Schools (Lest We Forget), individuals and organizations.
These contributions are very valuable and greatly appreciated;
every contribution means that another soldier has been saved from oblivion.
We have to pay tribute to those young soldiers who lost their lives so far away from home
fighting for our freedom.
Especially now most of their comrades are not able to do this any longer.
We would like to recognize every single one of them by a photo and the story of his life, so
they will never be forgotten.
