During the war, many Jewish deaf people were were taken away and killed by the Germans. The foundation wants to make sure that these Jewish deaf people will never be forgotten. On October 17, 2010, a special monument was set up to honor them. The monument is near a school for the deaf in Amsterdam, the John. C. Amman School. During the war, the school was where the German soldiers gathered the deaf people before they took them away to the concentration camps.
