Amsterdam Keizersgracht Jewish Memorial (#0040)

Amsterdam Keizersgracht Jewish Memorial (#0040)
Very near my hotel, a memorial to the Jewish people killed from a single neighborhood. This is a sign describing the memorial along the Nieuwe Keizersgracht canal. For the memorial, names are displayed, opposite the houses where they lived, of Jewish residents killed because they were Jewish. See adjacent pictures. There is an excellent description of the walk along the Schaduwkade, along with a brief description of how this area had been the Jewish quarter at: loyaltytraveler.boardingarea.com/2016/01/27/amsterdam-schaduwkade-shadow-wall

That seems like a frightfully moving memorial. Something about associating the names with their actual homes gets to me, and I didn't even see it.

Yes, I feel the same way, Clint. Names...real people...
