In the rolling hills of the Limburg Province, near the village of
Margraten, they slowly loom up, row after row: thousands of white
marble crosses and Stars of David. They mark the final resting
place of American soldiers who died fighting to liberate the
Netherlands during World War II. While the headstones provide the
names and ages of those lost, they cannot tell us who these
soldiers were, what their lives were like, or who they left behind.
Nor can the peace and quiet at the only American military cemetery
in the Netherlands reflect the harrowing experience and violent
final moments of the men and women who forever rest here. Through
hundreds of personal photographs and more than 250 stories, The
Faces of Margraten gives these soldiers faces and voices again,
telling not only the history of World War II and the ending of the
German occupation of the Netherlands, but also revealing how and
why the Dutch people have never forgotten their liberators.
Concluding with a list of all the soldiers' names, this
commemorative book stands as a testament to the service and
sacrifice of the more than 10,000 Americans buried or memorialized
as missing in Margraten.
