  abstract: The Canadian War Cemetery in Groesbeek is the final resting place of 2,618 soldiers from Canada and the British Commonwealth. Many of them were killed during the liberation of Europe in the final months of the Second World War. In addition, the impressive Groesbeek Memorial bears the engraved names of 1,011 soldiers who have been missing since the crossing of the Seine in August 1944. This richly illustrated book brings their stories to life. Who were these young men who gave their lives for freedom, democracy and peace? 'Faces of Liberation' is not only a historical document, but also a living tribute to the deep transatlantic ties between the Netherlands and Canada. Thanks to the efforts of Dutch volunteers, who maintain contact with Canadian relatives, the memories of these fallen servicemen live on. With special attention to the Canadian contribution to the liberation of the Netherlands, the role of First Nations soldiers, and the way in which this history is commemorated in both countries, Faces of Liberation offers a novel perspective on the legacy of war and how it is remembered. The extensive lists of names of the fallen and missing also makes it not only a unique reference work but also a powerful reminder of our enduring duty to remember.
