Homomonument Review

Monument to the victims of the Second World War. For those who do not know about him, he can not be replaced. These are three triangles that symbolize the badge of prisoners.

Could not help but being overwhelmed with emotion. For the women and men who helped me be able to be FREE to be me. Thank you

Monument to memorialize gays and lesbians killed by the Nazis. It's very close to Anne's house, but be careful, as it's quiet and you'll pass by if you don't look closely.

A great area to stay if your looking for quiet at night

Just nearby Westerkerk, like few-step stairs made by few triangles, maybe it s not too special but you can easily pass by and take a quick look. The scenery around is pretty.

With King's Day, gay pride and side-effect day, there are always the best free parties in town here!

Walking around the Amsterdam canals you can get to know the city with a little history.

There is no other place in the Netherlands where commemoration and celebration come together so beautifully. The Pink Wester is a unique icon for Amsterdam and the Netherlands.

Impossible to go to AMS and not go through this place

Thank you Netherlands and Amsterdam for honoring the LGBT community.

Nice location, in the busy hustle and bustle of the city, close to the Westerkerk and Anna Frank. And you can sit on it in good weather, - watch the boats.

Very emotional but also nice place to be 4 a while.

It's great that there is a monument on gay deportation but we couldn't find it maps told us to arrive but there was nothing

Pretty cool to see a monument in memory of those persecuted for who they love.

Walked a Pride Walk from the gay monument to the Vondelpark

I think that this monument represents a struggle that in my opinion should have ended a long time ago. Thanks to people with different mentalities, sexuality, love, race etc other people can move forward.
Thanks to all who did and do and will continue to make these changes in the minds of others.

A small and beautiful site, but with a lot of meaning! I visited it and left a rose rather in honor of my friend and homosexual relatives.

If you are passing by stop to see it otherwise not worth the trip there

A subtle and moving monument to... Water? Something?

Actually I use to go some times per year because they use to make different activities across the year. If you don't pay attention maybe you can't see it because the big pink triangle is only represented by the three corners so, pay attention

I was expecting something more visually attractive, as this small monument is easy to pass by without giving it a moment of thought, one of the most important ends of any monument.

The idea of having a monument to let people know how difficult it has been and it sometimes is to enjoy your human rights when your sexual preference or identity is other than the one you are suppossed to have is great, but I think it was poorly executed.

Many cities around the world could follow Amsterdam's lead and create their own homomonuments to make locals and tourists aware of the rights earned by the LBGTI community, and the abuses they still have to face.

Best open air gay place in town during big events in the city. Often very crowded

The monument is small but beautiful gesture of Amsterdam

As said before by another user - nice place to sit down but offers nothing. Obviously it's nice that it's there but it's not really interesting except for the sign.

Was a bit disappointing to me and my son. It could have been more impressive for such an important statement! Before we knew it we had already walked past it.

A very important monument for understanding humanity!

This was a sad and introspective moment. A modest, quiet and respectful place for all the LGBT who have died because of their sexual orientation. It was the first of its kind and proves how advanced this city still is on this matter.

Seeing this monument is so emotional... Since we know what people just like you and me lived just because they had an invisible difference since they were born, you can't be insensitive while seeing this tribute. This is the only monument that was built for them, and Amsterdam should be prouder of this and give it move visibility. We heard a lot about Jewish people and gypsies but we often forget that there are also other kind of people just like gay people who were persecuted.
Very emotional. Even if you're straight, you can't come there without paying tribute to thousands of gay prisonners who died during the WWII

Nothing ... the place next to the church, opposite the museum ... immediately and it is not clear what it is ...

Meet somewhere? HERE, and then think about the people who are commemorated here. Long live the longing for intense and intimate friendship.

We were lucky to be there on Freedom day. It's really nice to remember the problems faced to get here

It is a shame that the monument has become a simple place where the "tourists" sit to eat and leave garbage

With gayparades and memorials the place to be as a gay person.

An impressive, energetic and clever monument in the heart of the city.

This is an interesting monument and its prominence and location are a testament to the openness of Amsterdam.

Go ahead my thanks for making a monument to people who have suffered because of their sexual orientation ... but this tribute is so conceptual that it goes completely unnoticed. I would hang a photo ... But I do not know what!

A small and understated public monument set into the ground and commemorating those persecuted for their homosexuality. The triangle is easy to miss unless you re looking for it. As an LGBT traveler, I decided to stop by while in the area. It takes all of 2 minutes to take in, but worth a walk by if LGBT history is important to you and you re in the area. It s just a block from the Anne Frank Museum and in the trendy Jordaan neighborhood, so walk by if you re over that way.

Photo tour, and then you come across this special monument Beautifully made tribute

The monument to the victims of sexual persecution

I have been to see this monument with my girlfriend during our vacation in Amsterdam. It is a stairway overlooking a city canal. Everyone can climb, descend and sit on these steps. The memorial reminds all those who have been victims of sexual discrimination, a topic that is unfortunately still very current.
