Monument
Amsterdam’s monuments are mostly in plain sight rather than tucked away — the National Monument stands at the centre of Dam Square (Jan Raedecker’s 1956 commemoration of WWII victims), the Homomonument near the Westerkerk (Karin Daan, 1987, the world’s first memorial to gay and lesbian victims of persecution) marks Westermarkt, the Anne Frank statue stands on Westermarkt outside the church, the Auschwitz Mirror Monument hides in plain sight in Wertheimpark, and the National Holocaust Names Memorial on Weesperstraat opened in 2021 with 102,000 individual names laid into a brick spiral. This archive collects them all, plus the statues, plaques and smaller commemorations across the city. Each listing covers what the monument commemorates and where to find it.
