Description
After four years of German occupation, Eindhoven was liberated on September 18, 1944. The liberation was part of the Allied military operation Market Garden.
Today, the inhabitants of Eindhoven live in freedom. Being free is becoming commonplace. Like peace and prosperity. Can you imagine what it must have been like during the occupation? FREEDOM WALK gives you an insight into the occupation years in Eindhoven.
What the citizens of Eindhoven have experienced, you will experience while walking. Enjoying the green center of Eindhoven, you can imagine the events of the Second World War that took place in our city. These are packaged in a monument or an Listening Stone, the text of which you can read via Route.nl.
From 1946, the Stichting 18 September from Eindhoven commemorates the regained freedom. With enthusiasm and decisiveness. Many activities bear witness to this. The FREEDOM WALK is now its crown jewel in the crown year 2019 because of the celebration of 75 years of freedom.
The Liberators boom in 2019. The 18 September Foundation planted this tree and had the plaque unveiled by Joe Cattini and Armando Marquez. As a tribute to all liberators of Eindhoven. The tree symbolizes'Life\\\' and stands in the front yard of the Veterans House located in the center of our city.
The FREEDOM WALK originated from the idea that keeping the memory of the period 1940 - 1944 alive should not only take place annually around September 18th.
