Indies Monument, War memorial in The Hague, Netherlands.
The monument consists of seventeen bronze figures arranged around a central bier, with a map of Southeast Asia and commemorative inscriptions.
Queen Beatrix inaugurated the Indies Monument in 1988 to honor Dutch citizens and soldiers who died during the Japanese occupation between 1941 and 1945.
Annual ceremonies at the monument occur on August 15, marking Japan's surrender date, bringing together survivors, families, and officials for remembrance.
The memorial stands along Professor Teldersweg near Madurodam, featuring an urn containing soil from seven Indonesian war cemeteries.
The monument received a smaller replica in Madurodam miniature park in 2005, marking the 60th anniversary of the war's conclusion.
