During the Second World War, the majority of the Jewish population in The Hague was deported and murdered in concentration camps. Over 14,000 Jewish residents of The Hague were deported, and at least 12,000 of these were murdered. That makes The Hague the second city in the Netherlands when it comes to the number of Jewish residents who were deported and killed.<\/p>\n

It is now over 70 years ago since the end of the Second World War and The Hague still did not have a fitting monument to remember and commemorate its Jewish residents. For that reason, the Jewish Monument The Hague Foundation took the initiative to create a monument in the heart of the old Jewish district in The Hague to remember and commemorate their fellow citizens. So that they are not forgotten.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the foundation, artist Anat Ratzabi created a design for a meaningful monument. The monument has various elements and also integrates the existing Amalek monument on the Gedempte Gracht, creating a beautiful and historic monument at the heart of the old Jewish district. The Hague, and in particular the Jewish community, now has somewhere they can go to remember and commemorate their fellow citizens.<\/p>\n
