Stumbling Stone Rohofstraat 64

This brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on dd-mm-jjjj, commemorates:
* ARNOLDUS BULD (born 1904, murdered 3-12-1942, Neuengamme)

Arnoldus Buld, 38 and father of seven children, ran a drapery shop at 64 Rohofstraat at the time of World War II. He was a communist and was a member of the resistance. In 1941, Buld was arrested by the Almelo police and handed over to the Nazis, then murdered in Neuengamme concentration camp.

This Stumbling Stone is here for a resistance fighter, arrested, captured and murdered in World War II.


"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
