The National Martyrs' Memorial (Bengali: জাতীয় স্মৃতিসৌধ, romanizedJatiyo Sriti Shoudho) is a national monument in Bangladesh. It was built to honour and remember those who died during the Bangladesh Liberation War (as well as the genocide) in 1971, which resulted in Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan.
