The memorial inside the N.H. church in Bierum, located in the municipality of Delfzijl, serves as a tribute to three civilian individuals who tragically lost their lives during the years of occupation as a result of wartime events.
These three victims are remembered by the names:
H. van Dijken, G. Elema, and A.D. Omta.
The text on the plaque reads:
'FALLEN FOR THE FATHERLAND
