The memorial was designed by Roelof IJbema, the then director of Stadtwerke in West Dongeradeel, and unveiled on 6 March 1958 by the Frisian Commissioner of the Queen, Mr. HP Linthorst Homan. During the revelation, squalls and hailstorms lashed the crowd, and the sky over the sea was gray and cracked. The text on the stone was compiled by the Frisian poet Douwe Tamminga.
