Thousands of shoes covered Scheveningen Beach in The Hague in a public memorial honoring children killed in Gaza. According to organizers, the display commemorated more than 7,000 children killed in Gaza during the Israeli genocide. Via InstagramRather than banners or sculptures, the memorial relied on a simple but powerful symbol: thousands of children’s shoes spread across the shoreline. Via InstagramPalestinian-Dutch journalist and writer Amal Karam explained why the beach was chosen as the setting for the memorial. “In a similar place in Gaza, on the beach, more than once, Palestinian children were either killed while enjoying life or are living in a very difficult situation.”
