Honour Roll of the Fallen 1940-1945

The Honour Roll of the Fallen 1940-1945 displays names of Dutch citizens who lost their lives during World War II in a clear, organized arrangement.

The memorial was inaugurated on May 5, 1960, during Liberation Day celebrations, marking fifteen years after the end of World War II in the Netherlands.

This memorial serves as a central location for annual commemorations where Dutch citizens gather to remember those who sacrificed their lives during wartime.

Located in the Binnenhof complex at coordinates 52.034255, 4.196571, the memorial remains open for public viewing throughout regular government building hours.

Architect Aldo van Eyck incorporated modernist design elements into the memorial while maintaining its primary function as a documentation of wartime casualties.
