Every year on 4 May, the Netherlands commemorates the victims of war. On 5 May we celebrate the fact that we were liberated. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima will once again be present during the national commemoration of Remembrance Day this year in Amsterdam on 4 May. They will lay the first wreath at the National Monument on Dam Square that evening, just before the two minutes of silence at eight o'clock observed in commemoration of all Dutch victims of war.
