The gay symbol of the city, the monument to the gay victims of Nazism in Amsterdam

Amsterdam has long been the gay capital of Europe, and indeed of the world. The city's gay symbol is the Homomonument, the monument to the homosexual victims of Nazism. The Homomonument has now become a symbol of all the persecution suffered by homosexuals. The monument was designed by Karin Daan in 1987 and consists of pink granite triangles extending from the Keizersgracht. They recall the pink triangles that homosexuals had to wear on their clothes in the Nazi camps. A commemoration takes place every year on May 4.

Monument surprenant et unique qui mérite une visite pour soutenir très humblement la défense des droits humains et la lutte contre les persécutions et discriminations des homosexuels.
La date annuelle de commémoration étant le 4 mai, c'était entièrement fleuri et d'autant plus émouvant !
