Luggage, War memorial sculpture in Leiden, Netherlands
The Luggage memorial incorporates five sections built from natural stone and metal, symbolizing different aspects of wartime deportation and loss.
Unveiled in March 2010, this memorial commemorates the Holocaust victims from Leiden, particularly those taken during the 1943 neighborhood deportations.
Through the artistic vision of Ram Katzir, the memorial connects individual experiences to the collective memory of World War II in the Netherlands.
Located at Zonneveldstraat 10 in Leiden, the memorial stands as a central point for annual Holocaust remembrance ceremonies and educational activities.
Each stone component of the memorial represents abandoned belongings, creating a physical representation of departure and forced separation.
