The liberation monument De Beschermengel (The Guardian Angel) reminds us of the turbulent times experienced during the liberation. Made by the artist Johan Claasen from Gemert, it portrays a guardian angel or a winged guardian spirit. The tall figure has a hand on its heart with a half-moon above it, as a symbol of the dark days during the war years. Adjoining the right hand the sun rises again, a symbol of the dawn of a new day, and that life goes on in Reek.
