I have a report to do on the Netherlands and I have to have an art project to go with it. I am going the Netherlands Cemetary and Memorial. I need to write something on it and if someone could find me where it is, it would be very helpful. To get to the page I'm at go to http://www.peachmountain.com/5star/American_Cemetery_Margraten_Holland.asp

Here's the official website for the Cemetary however it won't really help you unless you speak the language.
http://www.margraten.nl/
Additionally, Margraten is a municipality and a town in the southeastern Netherlands.
Margraten is Europe's third largest war cemetery for unidentified soldiers who died in World War II. 8,302 soldiers are buried there under long rows of white crosses and stars of David. All graves are adopted by locals, who attend the graves and lay flowers every now and then. There have been regular visits here by soldiers who survived the war to visit a former comrade, hoping he's buried there somewhere. But now there are few left of them, so the once massive tributes are growing thin. President George W. Bush was the first American president who visited the cemetery, on May 8th 2005.
The Cemetary lies in the village of Margraten six miles east of Maastricht.
Here's another great website that can tell you more about the Margraten Cemetary.

Good luck to you!
