Gennep and the price of freedom
The Martinustoren is a striking reminder of the devastation that befell Gennep and the entire North Limburg region at the end of the war. The tower provides a good view of the battlefields of Operation Market Garden (September 1944) and Operation Veritable (February 1945), also known as the Battle of the Reichswald. In addition to the Martinustoren, there are several attractions and an audio spot that bear witness to the times of occupation and the long period on the front lines. One example is the intimate Ellen Hoffmannplein in memory of the Shoah.
