In 1970 a plaque replaced a wooden monument at the sand quarry, a place of execution for the Strasbourg Gestapo. It bears the inscription “To the memory of resistance members of all nationalities and of the 17 young patriots from Ballersdorf and environs (Haut-Rhin) executed here by the Nazis between 1941 and 1944”.
