Story · Tranen

You're standing in one of the passageways of the Max Euweplein, in the centre of Amsterdam. Take a look at the wall. There's a blue panel with two teardrops made of glass. This artwork is called Tears for the Resistance, or simply Two Tears. Artist Bernard Heesen made it to express the suffering caused by the Second World War.
