The monument on the Afsluitdijk, made by Hildo Krop,carries the text:

“Een volk dat leeft bouwt aan zijn toekomst. ( A people that live, build for their future ) “

It would not be until September 25, 1933, that the Afsluitdijk was officially opened, with a monument designed by architect Dudok marking the spot where the dike had been closed. The amount of material used is estimated at 23 million m³ of sand and 13.5 million m³ of till and over the years an average of around four to five thousand workers were involved with the construction every day, relieving some of the unemployment following the Great Depression.

"The Dutch mountain" is a song of the Nits.

( There is a story that says that "the Dutch mountain"  

is a metaphore for the duch dikes?) 

I was born in the valley of bricks

Where the river runs high above the rooftops

I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night

From the Dutch mountains

I was standing in the valley of rock

Up to my belly in an early fog

I was looking for the road

To a green painted house

In the Dutch mountains

In the Dutch mountains

[Mountains]

I met a woman in the valley of stone

She was painting roses

On the walls of her home

And the moon is a coin

With the head of the queen
