Site: Prisoner of War statue group - Kormis (1 memorial)
NW2, Dollis Hill Lane, Gladstone Park
This sculpture group is behind railings in a locked garden. In our photo the white plaque is facing forwards, the other, is directly below the white one, on the low white wall, facing to the right, south.
West Hampstead Live tells how Kormis was creating the work long before a site was found. Eventually his friend Freeson arranged for it to be placed here in Gladstone Park.
Announcing a 2024 exhibition of Kormis's work the Jewish Telegraphic Agency describes this sculptural group as "Britain’s first memorial to victims of Nazi persecution".
