Amsterdam See & Do Guide: Homomonument

Homomonument

Sightseeing - Historic Sites
On Westermarkt beside the Westerkerk, Amsterdam, Netherlands

This is the world's first memorial to persecuted lesbians and gays. It's constructed from three pink-granite triangles that are reminders of the triangles of pink fabric that homosexuals were forced to wear in concentration camps during World War II. Friends and families of AIDS victims often place flowers at the foot of the monument. On Westermarkt beside the Westerkerk, Amsterdam.
