World War II memorials
1940s conflict tributes
World War II memorials are monuments, buildings, or sites honoring those who served or died in the Second World War (1939–1945).
They range from national landmarks like the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. to local plaques and cenotaphs in town squares.
Many focus on specific groups—Holocaust victims, fallen soldiers, civilian casualties—or mark battlefields and concentration camps: We visited the World War II memorial in the town square.
