Holocaust Namenmonument, Amsterdam.
The National Holocaust Names Memorial (Amsterdam) (Dutch: Holocaust Namenmonument) is since 2021 the Dutch national memorial for the Holocaust and the Porajmos at Amsterdam. It commemorates the approximately 102,000 Jewish victims from the Netherlands who were arrested by the Nazi regime during the German occupation of the country (1940-1945), deported and mostly murdered in the Auschwitz and Sobibor death camps, as well as 220 Roma and Sinti victims.
The 1,550 square meter monument consists of four sections representing the letters in the Hebrew word לזכר (from right to left Lamedh, Zayin, Kaph and Resh, lizkor, pronunciation "lizachàr") meaning "In Memoriam".

Visitors entering the excavated area via stairs from the south or north can wander through a labyrinth of corridors between red brick walls. Inscribed on each of these 102,000 alphabetically ordered bricks is a name, date of birth and age at death of a victim. A separate wall called 1000 Names Wall of 1,000 bricks at the southern entrance was left blank to accommodate additional names of victims found later.

On top of the brick walls four huge horizontal stainless steel profiles are mounted in the shape of the four Hebrew characters. Attached elongated mirrors reflect the environment.
