This bronze abstract was donated to the Province of British Columbia in 1995 "in honour of all Canadians who contributed to the liberation of the Netherlands in 1944-1945." The Dutch Canadians Remember 1945 Society wanted to leave a permanent message marking the joy of the freedom of being liberated from oppression.

"In this design one can see two clasping hand-forms. These hands symbolize oppression. However, despite the suppression freedom has become possible. The spirit of a people will never be crushed and is depicted here by V forms. The International V sign is recognized by people worldwide. The human figure escaping from the clasped hands is symbolic of freedom and victory."
