Monument Executed Assebroek

At the back of the Bruges Central Cemetery is the statue with the inscription "Pro Patria" for the executed or deported political prisoners and resistance fighters.
It is a work by sculptor Octave Rotsaert, unveiled on November 7, 1948.

It consists of a life-size figure on a pedestal and placed against a cross.
The figure represents a prisoner of war from a concentration camp.
The head proudly erect, the facial expression pure and serene, the camp trousers shabby over the bony limbs.
