Homomonument in Amsterdam, Netherlands
In the city center of Amsterdam lies one of the most iconic gay Holocaust monuments: the Homomonument. Built in 1987, this memorial is a large granite triangle made up of three smaller triangles, commemorating the gay men and lesbians who have been subjected to persecution and suffering because of their homosexuality.
On the ground, visitors will find the words from a poem by Jacob Israël de Haan, a famous gay Jewish poet, stating, "Such an endless desire for friendship."
