May, 4 and 5. Dutch "Remembrance and Libarationday"

Remembrance of the Dead (Dutch: Dodenherdenking) is held annually on May 4 in the Netherlands. It commemorates all civilians and members of the armed forces of the Kingdom of the Netherlands who have died in wars or peacekeeping missions since the outbreak of World War II.

Until 1961, the commemoration only related to the Dutch victims of World War II. Since 1961, the victims of other military conflicts (such as the Indonesian National Revolution in Indonesia) and peacekeeping missions (such as in Lebanon or Bosnia) are remembered on May 4 as well.

One day later, on May 5, Dutch people celebrate the liberation from the German occupation between 1940 and 1945.

Kamp Vught

KZ Herzogenbusch is a concentration camp located near the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, in the Netherlands.

During World War II, Konzentrations-lager Herzogenbusch was one of the few official concentration camps in western Europe outside of Germany. In the Netherlands, it is commonly known as camp 'Vught', since it is actually near the town of Vught.[1]

The infinite lists of innocent victims. The infinite lists of death. So it is terrible. For the great purpose? For a great nation? Senselessly and is awful...

This Tabblo is very very very valuable. It is serious and deep, but poetic and strong. I would love to know the text in the first pic, which remember the kids (those toys there are the best simbol of the tragedy). Thank you very much for introduce this place, I didn“t know about it, before.
Gerardfotografeert said at 3:13 a.m. on Jun 9, 2009:
Thank you all for your nice and inspiring comments.
The text on the first pic is; "the child is not ...... and I, where should I go!"
