The anger and the grief are great at Sabina Cantiluppi from Den Bosch. Probable vandals caused destruction at the carnival monument at the Knillispoort in the center of Den Bosch in the night from Saturday to Sunday. Photos, flowers, dolls and bears are torn from the monument and taken.
Sabina, who came up with the memorial monument last year, has not yet been recovered from the shock after the destruction were discovered on Sunday morning. “The monument was completely full. With as many as sixty photos, “she explains. These are photos of deceased carnival lovers.
Oeteldonkers came to the monument en masse since last year to commemorate those who can no longer experience the party. It is a quiet place in the bustling city center, where people can catch their breath.
“It went with violence. Really very disrespectful.”
“Everything is included, everything is gone,” says Sabina. “If only if they had thrown it on the floor, we could have saved something. But everything has disappeared. ” According to her, it cannot be a misunderstanding that someone wanted to clean up the monument. “It went by violence. Really very disrespectful. ”

Sabina also thinks that the vandals do not come from Den Bosch. “These have not been for Bosschenaren. Everyone knows about this monument. And it is also clear that it is a monument. ” Sabina is not going to make a declaration for the time being. “I don’t know if it is useful. But we will see if there are camera images. “
“An empty keel full of memories.”
The hope is that the vandals repent and bring the stolen things back. The monument at the Knillispoort on Korte Waterstraat in Den Bosch consists of a memorial stone hanging on a wall. The stone under the gate is engraved: “An empty keel full of memories. A place especially for you. Especially for me.”
