National Holocaust Names Memorial

Amsterdam, Netherlands · built 2014

The National Holocaust Names Memorial (Amsterdam) (Holocaust Namenmonument) is since 2021 the Dutch national memorial for the Holocaust and the Porajmos at Amsterdam. It commemorates the approximately 102,000 Jewish victims from the Netherlands who were arrested by the Nazi regime during the German occupation of the country (1940-1945), deported and mostly murdered in the Auschwitz and Sobibor death camps, as well as 220 Roma and Sinti victims. The monument founded by the Nederlands Auschwitz Comité (Dutch Auschwitz Committee) is located in the former Jewish quarter (Jodenbuurt) on a roughly north–south strip along the west side of the Weesperstraat, clockwise from the north between Nieuwe Herengracht, Weesperstraat, Nieuwe Keizersgracht, and Amstel river, east of the H'ART Museum Museum and the Hoftuin garden.
