Amsterdam's Homomonument

Description
🏳️‍🌈 Amsterdam's Homomonument 🏳️‍🌈

Set of 4 props and one curb network that allows you to create the famous landmark in Amsterdam which commemorates and remembers all the LGBTQ+ people persecuted and killed by the Nazis.

The set comprises three triangles (props), one curb prop and also a curb network that allows you to better snap the angle of the curb at 60 degrees, to create a perfect equilateral triangle.



📐 How to build it 📐

Reccomended mods are Procedural Objects, Move It, Prop & Tree Anarchy and Precision Engineering (hold ctrl to snap the curb network at 60 degrees).

From Wikipedia:[en.wikipedia.org]

"As well as the triangle on the canal, which has a set of steps leading to the water where floral wreaths are frequently laid, there is a triangle on land 60 cm high and a memorial triangle at street level. The three triangles—each measuring 10 meters (30 ft) on each side—together form a larger triangle connected on each side by a thin row of pink granite bricks. This larger triangle measures 36 meters on each side.

The alignments of the three points of the larger triangle are symbolic. One points towards the National War Memorial on Dam Square. One points towards the house of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who was deported to her death by the Nazis. The third points towards the headquarters of COC Nederland, the Dutch gay rights group founded in 1946, making it the oldest continuously operating gay and lesbian organisation in the world.

On the triangle pointing towards the Anne Frank House is engraved a line of poetry by the Dutch Jewish gay poet Jacob Israël de Haan (1881–1924): Naar Vriendschap Zulk een Mateloos Verlangen ("Such an endless desire for friendship"). The text is from his poem To a Young Fisherman."

@m4gic It was made a relatively long time ago, before 21st century naming conventions.

Did they really need to call it the homomonument, though? Did "Pride Triangle" just not sounds good in Dutch?

Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Holocaust Memorial is small but powerful.

Wow, Amsterdam has a bigger monument to the LGBT+ people persecuted by the Nazis than Germany. The complete ignorance towards the persecution of LGBT+ people and Sinti and Roma you sometimes find in Germany is really angering. Either way, great asset, sorry for the rant.
