While Jews wore a yellow Star of David in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, the homosexuals were made to wear a pink triangle on their clothing as a sign for oppression and discrimination. This pink triangle is now a powerful symbol against exclusion for the LGBTQ community in Holland. The gay monument on a square at the Westerkerk consists of three triangles commemorating all those who were murdered or persecuted in the past for their sexuality and serving as a reminder of freedom for present and future generations.
