Auschwitz Memorial

Auschwitz Memorial

The Auschwitz Memorial is located in the Wertheim Park. It was placed here in 1993.

It is made by the Dutch artist and writer Jan Wolkers, and consists of broken mirrors, in which the skies are reflected, day and night. The memorial aims to commemorate the victims of the concentration camp Auschwitz.

The text in the standing glass plate says 'Nooit meer Auschwitz' ('Never again Auschwitz').

Every year, on 27 January - the date on which the Russian army liberated the camp, an Auschwitz remembrance is held near the memorial.
