Monument to those who fought for freedom
Memorial site

This monument is situated in Vabaduse Park in Pärnu and commemorates those who fought in World War II. It was designed by Kuno Raude. In 2002, a monument depicting an Estonian soldier in a German uniform was unveiled at the site. The city government had it removed and the monument was relocated to Lihula. In 2003, a new monument with a more neutral design was unveiled, inscribed with the text: "To those who fought for the restoration of Estonian independence during World War II". The black granite monument is adorned with a familiar motive from the Cross of Liberty – a hand holding a sword beneath the letter E.
