Episode Details

Early Sunday morning in Amsterdam, vandals sprayed yellow and blue paint—including a skull—on the national war memorial at the Dam, prompting swift arrests of two suspects: a 27-year-old from Hoofddorp with a spray can, and a 39-year-old Polish man using lipstick. Police remain unsure if they knew each other. The mayor condemned the act but praised the quick response. This isn’t the first time the memorial, a key site for Remembrance Day since 1956, has been targeted—previous incidents include red paint before last year’s ceremony and pro-Palestine graffiti in 2025, which resulted in a symbolic conviction without punishment. Authorities are investigating why this historic site keeps becoming a target.
