Twelve Responses to Tragedy

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, United Kingdom · built 1986

Twelve Responses to Tragedy, or the Yalta Memorial, is a memorial located in the Yalta Memorial Garden on Cromwell Road in South Kensington in west London. The memorial commemorates people displaced as a result of the Allied repatriation of Soviet citizens after World War II, mandated by the Yalta Conference. Created by the British sculptor Angela Conner, the work consists of twelve bronze busts atop a stone base. The memorial was dedicated in 1986 to replace a previous memorial (also by Conner) from 1982 that had been repeatedly damaged by vandalism.
