The flowers were laid at the monuments for (former) UG students and staff members who lost their lives, on the left and right side above the stairs in the foyer of the Academy Building.

The UG also joined the annual municipal remembrance ceremony organized by Stichting 4 Mei Herdenking and participated in a walking procession, which began at the Jewish monument on Hereweg and ended at the St. George and the Dragon monument in the Martinikerk grounds, where a wreath was then laid.
