Verzetsmonument Apollolaan, War memorial sculpture near Beethovenstraat, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The bronze and basalt monument features three life-sized figures expressing different emotional states through their body language at the intersection of Apollolaan.
The memorial marks the location where German forces executed 29 prisoners from the House of Detention at Weteringschans on October 24, 1944.
The three figures in the monument draw inspiration from religious imagery, referencing the crucifixion scene with representations of distinct characters.
The memorial stands on a median strip at Apollolaan, accessible by public transportation, and serves as a gathering point during Dutch Remembrance Day.
Each figure in the monument was carefully designed by Jan Havermans, with sculptor Karl Pelgrom modeling for the central character's posture.
