This striking three-stamp series from the Netherlands commemorates the nation's liberation from Nazi occupation (1940–1945). Each stamp features powerful sculptural imagery inspired by the Rotterdam monument “De Verwoeste Stad” (“The Destroyed City”) by Ossip Zadkine — a tribute to the devastation of Rotterdam and the resilience of its people. The minimalist designs, rendered in bold monochrome and deep tones, evoke both loss and renewal. Issued in 1960, these stamps remain a profound philatelic expression of remembrance and national recovery.
