Artist Jac Maris was more or less known for his war memorials. Among others, he made the Airborne monument in Oosterbeek and the war monuments on Plein 1944 and on the Waalbrug in Nijmegen.

In Gennep, he made the bronze war monument the Good Samaritan in 1953. It depicts a male figure on horseback carrying a wounded warrior. Maris did not want the relatives to be constantly reminded of their suffering. The artist sees the Good Samaritan as a tribute to the sacrifice of the victims.
