The Auschwitz Committee in the Netherlands wants to build a memorial wall inscribed with the names of the 110,000 Dutch men and women who were killed in Nazi death camps. Jacques Grishaver of the committee said that the wall, inspired in part by similar walls in other countries, would be placed near the country's Auschwitz Never Again monument, in Amsterdam’s Wertheim Park. He said the monument would be built in 2009, pending approval from the city council. The wall is to feature the names of murdered Jews, but would also include resistance fighters and political prisoners, according to Dutch media reports.
