Story · 'Haags Verzets- en Bevrijdingsmonument'

You're standing on the Carnegieplein in The Hague, right opposite the Peace Palace. This is The Hague's memorial to the Second World War. Look at the four columns. They represent the four groups Dutch society was divided into during the war: neutral, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish. The Dutch call these groups pillars.
