However, such a war memorial, which one encounters far too often on the road - in cities as well as in small villages - is always, regardless of nationality, language and name, a testimony - still significant and relevant today - to the horror of war and tyranny. Each of these testimonies therefore has two essential functions, and this is always new for each generation: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Remind people to keep the peace
