Commemoration and Celebration
7–31 May 2012
Every year, the Netherlands pauses to commemorate the victims of war and violence. The central point of this day of remembrance is De Nieuwe Kerk. Each May, De Nieuwe Kerk and the National 4 and 5 May Committee organize a full programme of activities on the themes of commemoration and celebration: concerts, photo exhibitions, lectures, and debates to keep attention focused on events and individuals that must never be forgotten.
