The Bevrijdingslinde van de Jordaankinderen, located at Marnixplein in Amsterdam-Centrum, is a war memorial dedicated to the children of the Jordaan district who did not survive World War II. Planted on May 4, 1946, the linden tree symbolizes remembrance and resilience. A gray stone plaque commemorates this solemn occasion, and beneath it lies an urn containing the names of contributing children. The site serves as a poignant reminder of the Dutch liberation from German occupation between 1940 and 1945. Visitors can reflect on the historical significance of this memorial, which is accessible year-round and free of charge.
