Vrouwen van Ravensbrück 1940-1945, War memorial in Museumplein, Netherlands.
The monument features a central cylinder column of 3.40 meters height with eleven stainless steel panels arranged in a semicircle, reflecting light signals.
The memorial remembers 90,000 women who died in Ravensbrück concentration camp, with its official opening on April 4, 1975 by seven survivors.
The installation generates sequences of light and sound patterns, representing both the women who survived and those who perished in the concentration camp.
