On May 4, we commemorate all victims who were killed or murdered during the Second World War. We also commemorate the victims who died in war situations and in peacekeeping operations after the Second World War. Due to corona, there is no public ceremony this year at the memorial monument and the grave of the fallen soldiers at the IJsseldijk cemetery. You can, however, attend the ceremony digitally.
Wreath-laying and speeches mayor and next of kin
IJsseldijk cemetery has a short meeting without an audience. You can watch or listen to the ceremony from approximately 7.55 pm on YouTube and the local Omroep Krimpen. Prior to the 2-minute silence at 8 p.m., the mayor will lay a wreath. After the silence, mayor Martijn Vroom will give his speech. Mr. Hans Buijs also spoke. Mr. Buijs is the brother of the killed soldier Jan Buijs. Jan Buijs died in World War II and is buried in the military grave at the IJsseldijk cemetery. Mr. Buijs talks about the impact his brother's death had on the family. The ceremony lasts until approximately 8.30 pm.
