Waalsdorpervlakte

The Waalsdorpervlakte near the Hague was used by the nazis to execute more than 250 people during the war.

The nazis used the Waalsdorpervlakte as a place to execute resistance fighters who were imprisoned in the Oranjehotel in Scheveningen. The Waalsdorpervlakte is now one of the most important memorial places in the Netherlands of the Second World War. Every year on 4 May the dead are remembered there.
