HAL-monument, War memorial at Stadhuisplein, Netherlands
The HAL-monument consists of six metal rectangles featuring plaques with names and text displaying '1940 IN MEMORIAM 1945 IN MEMORIAM 1940' from left to right.
The memorial pays tribute to 264 Holland-America Line employees who lost their lives during World War II between 1940 and 1945.
Mayor Aboutaleb unveiled the monument in November 2010, with former employees and victims' families attending the dedication ceremony at Stadhuisplein.
Three flagpoles stand behind the memorial structure, which sits within a triangular gravel area near Rotterdam's Maritime Museum.
The memorial plaques contain individual names of Holland-America Line staff members, preserving their memory through metal inscriptions.
