아우더-암스텔‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

On July 1, 2002, the National Slavery Monument was inaugurated in the presence of then-Queen Beatrix. On July 1, 1863, the Netherlands was one of the last countries in Europe to abolish slavery. The National Slavery Monument serves as a place for reflection and commemoration of the Dutch transatlantic slavery past. The initiative came in 1998 from the Afro-European women's movement Sophiedela, chaired by Barryl Biekman. The Dutch government provided a financial contribution. In 2001, Minister Roger van Boxtel declared at an anti-racism conference in South Africa that the Netherlands "sincerely and deeply regrets" the slave trade and slavery. The "static" monument and the establishment of a "dynamic" knowledge institute, the Ninsee, marked the next step. The bronze statue was designed by renowned Surinamese artist Erwin de Vries, who said of it: "The assignment was to address the past of slavery, the present, and the future. From the past, I created a group of enslaved people in chains, from the present, a freed slave, and the most important thing is the future: freedom in the belief that we will one day be completely free from discrimination." While designing the monument, he felt "the pain of the slaves, including my ancestors, but also their enormous strength."

really beautiful, but very busy when everything here is in bloom.

Definitely worth walking through with all these blossoms. Of course in the month of April.

the Blossom Park is incredibly beautiful

Lovely park away from the hustle and bustle of the market

for a short period of time each year the beautiful blossom of the 400 trees can be admired. Due to the great interest and therefore crowds, try to avoid the weekend in order to enjoy it as much as possible.

If you want to admire the blossom, come as early as possible on a weekday.

A place to pause for a moment. The Auschwitz Monument (also known as Spiegelmonument 'Nooit Meer Auschwitz' or Broken mirrors) is a Dutch memorial monument in the Wertheimpark in Amsterdam in memory of those who died in the Auschwitz concentration camp and the other concentration and extermination camps. The monument was designed in 1977 by writer and visual artist Jan Wolkers. Wolkers had been commissioned to make a monument above an urn with ashes of victims from the Auschwitz concentration camp.
