Schaduwkade

Schaduwkade
What's left?
Violently taken away...

What's left?
Murdered far away…

What's left?
Our houses where we lived in…

What's left?
Our names to be remembered…

In the war about 215 people were taken away from their houses on the Nieuwe Keizergracht 2 - 70 in Amsterdam, and deported to concentration camps. Less than 15 of them did return after the war.
To remember this a monument along the opposite side of the gracht (canal) was created, next to the Hermitage. Opposite of each housenumber nameplates were placed.
The gracht with housenumbers 12-14 can be seen here: www.ipernity.com/doc/299737/37884828. It makes it much more poignant to see individual names.
