Click on a thumbnail image to view the full photograph.
| The Homomonument by Karin Daan in Amsterdam is a memorial to homosexual victims of the Holocaust. Three triangles define a large triangle. This triangle is raised up from the ground. A second triangle is level with the ground. And a third triangle is at a lower level jutting out into the adjacent canal. The "pink triangle" was the symbol the Nazis used to label and defame homosexuals in the concentration camps. |
| Amsterdam memorial. This triangle bears a line from a poem by Jacob Israel de Haan: "NAAR VRIENDSCHAP ZULK EEN MATELOOS VERLANGEN." (Such a boundless longing for friendship.) |
