The Destroyed City

Reviewed By Robert937 - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The reason why this 1953 statue and its sculptor Ossip Zadkine is so well appreciated by the people of Rotterdam is it captures exactly the feelings of the people after the Nazi bombing of the heart of the city in 1940. Powerlessness and desperation about the bombs and the devastation they caused. They took our heart away. The boy from Smolensk (Belarus) who became French citizen Zadkine never experienced bombings as he escaped to the USA in time in 1941, but still his strong sense of empathy helped him to create the sculpture. His style is clearly influenced by cubism and he may also have been inspired by Picasso's 1937 painting of Guernica, another testament to Nazi cruelty.

A visit to Delft is not complete without walking over Delft's own tower bridge. Someone actually lives here!

Holten Canadian War Cemetery

Reviewed By FEMscapades - Lochem, The Netherlands

A nice, surreal experience of history as this place is an actual burial ground of these soldiers, and not just a memorial. It felt surreal to walk through the place knowing that several feet beneath you was where these heroes were laid to rest. Reading each tombstone was interesting to know a little more about the people there - their rank, their age, division, date of death. It's saddening how many of them died at very young ages. Some tombstones had an epitaph written and those can pinch your heart as you read what was written or chosen by the family they left behind. Some had no inscription from family written since no contact with the family was made and that was also sad to think about.
