102.000 stones, War memorial in Hooghalen, Netherlands.
The memorial consists of 102,000 stone blocks arranged in the shape of the Netherlands, representing individuals who were deported from Camp Westerbork.
The memorial was established in 1992 at the former Camp Westerbork location, marking the deportation site of 102,000 Dutch citizens during World War II.
Each stone in the memorial carries specific symbols: Stars of David for Jewish victims, flame symbols for Roma individuals, and plain stones for resistance fighters.
The memorial grounds provide wheelchair access and can be reached via Oosthalen 8 in Hooghalen, within the Midden-Drenthe municipality.
The varying heights of the stones create a visual representation of the numerical scale, emphasizing the individual nature of each lost life.
