Amsterdam, Netherlands: Homomonument

Sometimes it takes a little help to figure out you are at a tourist monument.

The Homomonument is such an attraction. Gays and lesbians also felt the power of Nazi hatred during World War II, and many were put to death. It took about a decade to raise the money to pay for some sort of tribute.

This is part of the finished product. There are three triangles on the grounds; you can an upraised one in the distance. The triangles point to the Anne Frank House, the National War Memorial and the Headquarters of the COC Nederland.

It is located near the Anne Frank House, just in front of the Westerkerk. In fact, you might find yourself standing on it before or after a visit to one of those places. We did.
