Across the street from the large Dam Square where the Koninklijk Paleis stands is the Dutch Nationaal Monument. Unveiled on May 4, 1956, it honors Dutch victims of WWII. Interestingly enough, there is soil from each of Holland’s 12 provinces as well as the Dutch East Indies inside the 21m white-stone obelisk.
