A beautiful monument that is more than meets the eye. For the LGBT community remembering others who were prosecuted during World War II and beyond.

Many people see the sign and assume the entire monument is the small pink triangle with steps leading down towards the water in the canal but it's more than that.

If you turn around you will notice a second raised pink triangle made of marble and a third one made of Street bricks embedded in the ground... these three triangles are also joined by more Street tiles making one enormous pink triangle each one the same size but designed differently...

One of the triangles points to the COC, one of the world's first gay meeting points approved by any government. The second triangle points to the Anne Frank House reminding us of all of the victims in World War II and III triangle descends into the water which connects to the North Sea and out to the oceans: The Waters of the world that connect us all.

Simple, elegant and meaningful.
