HOLOCAUST MONUMENT OF NAMES BY DANIEL LIBESKIND
METALOCUS, ADELA BONAS
After ten years of preparations, the Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names was presented in 2016 by the studio of architect Daniel Libeskind whit the Dutch Auschwitz Committee, and completed in September 2021. A place with the laser-engraved names of some 102,000 Jewish, Roma, and Sinti residents of the Netherlands, who were killed by the Nazis during World War II.
The monument, which honors each of these victims individually, is located on Weesperstraat in the city center, the heart of the Jewish Cultural Quarter, close to important Jewish cultural buildings and linked to the history of the Jewish community in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The memorial was designed by Studio Libeskind teamed with local studio Rijnboutt to commemorate Dutch victims of the Holocaust without known graves. the project received its name from the 102,000 bricks that are inscribed with the names of the victims. Besides these bricks, 1,000 extra bricks were left blank to memorialize those who remain unknown.
The memorial design by Daniel Libeskind consists of four Hebrew letters in reflective stainless steel, that make up a word that translates as ‘In memory of". The four letters are supported by a set of brick walls, creating a dynamic labyrinth of passages. On each brick are inscribed the name, date of birth, and date of passing away, in such a way that the name of each victim can be touched.
Together with the Garden of the Protestant Diaconate and the Garden of the Hermitage Amsterdam, the location creates a series of (semi) public, green outdoor spaces between the Amstel and Weesperstraat. While the spaces each have their own purpose and can function independently, they are also connected and create a coherent whole through design, materials, and the selection of plants.
