The national monument is built with white cave stone, up to 22 meters high, and the inscription "devrede" meaning "peace" is engraved at the bottom of the obelisk. There are four male carvings with different postures and roasted locks around the bottom of the obelisk. There are women carvings with babies and pigeons around the front. The former shows the suffering of war, the latter symbolizes victory, peace and new life. The male sculptures on both sides of the obelisk represent the resistance of the working class and intellectuals to war, depicting sorrow and pain. The lion sculptures on both sides of the front and left of the national monument, meaning to defend the minarets like the sphinx in front of the pyramid.

The monument is an obelisk, near the lower end of about one person high a section of the square, the rest and the upper end into a cylindrical, 22 meters high, surrounded by three-dimensional statues and connected to the main body of the monument. The monument is designed by Oude. The statue was created by Radeler, with four men representing war, women and children representing peace, and two men and a roaring dog representing resistance. The 12 small altars beside the monument, 11 of which are of clay from 11 provinces in the Netherlands and the 12th from the Honor Cemetery in Indonesia, were completed on May 4, 1956. May 4th is the day of liberation of the Netherlands, and the monument was unveiled by the then Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. The monument was built to remember the Dutch and victims who died in World War II and beyond, and to commemorate liberation and peace. The dam square is open, so you can visit the monument any time of day and night. The dam square and the surrounding area are bustling during the day. The monument is not too conspicuous, but the surrounding area of the monument is brighter at night, which is striking. At night, there are also horsemen patrolling around the square. May 4th is China's May 4th Youth Day. May 4th Movement is a landmark event in China. The blood of young people irrigation the flowers of modern China. Suddenly, I wonder if there is a May 4th monument in China? Oh, the monument to the people's heroes in the square has the "May 4th relief". Is the spirit of the May 4th still alive today? The memory of the May 4th should be to promote Mr. De and Mr. Sai. Remember, there are also military and police around the square... The square and the square, the monument and the monument gradually stacked, gradually blurred... At night, the lights were confused, and people slowly dispersed. In the words of the gentleman, it was time to turn around.
