Spiegelmonument, Holocaust memorial in Wertheimpark, Netherlands.

The Spiegelmonument features broken mirrors that reflect the sky and contains an urn with ashes from Auschwitz concentration camp victims.

Between July 1942 and September 1944, over 107,000 Jews were deported from the Netherlands, with only 5,200 people returning from concentration camps.

The monument's inscription 'Nooit Meer Auschwitz' serves as a permanent reminder of the commitment to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.

The National Holocaust Commemoration takes place annually on the last Sunday of January at this wheelchair-accessible memorial site.

The fractured mirrors in the monument symbolize that the sky above will forever remain scarred by the events at Auschwitz.
