Jewish Memorial Statue, Nijmegen, Holland
Inspired by Paul de Swaat, this sculpture of a mourning lady looking towards the old Jewish Schul, was unveiled in 1995. The figure stands beneath a tree and is surrounded by railings in which there are Stars of David. Within the railings is a plaque which reads, Kom vanavond met vernalen hoe de oorlog is verdwenen en herhaal ze duizend malen alle malen zal ik wenen. These are lines by the Dutch poet Leo Roman which translate as, Tonight come with stories of how the war has faded away and repeat them a thousand times. I will weep every time. Frits Philips, who ran the Philips factory during the period of Occupation, managed to protect many Jews as members of his workforce. Date: 2000
