A large triangle of pink polished granite - made up of three smaller triangles - this monument in front of the Westerkerk (and jutting out into the Keizersgracht) was unveiled in 1987. It is often forgotten, but Amsterdam's gay population was also deported to the concentration camps during World War II as well as its Jews. Next to the monument is a little kiosk selling gay souvenirs, whatever they are, and handing out information.
