Stumbling Stone Avenue Palmerston 22

This brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone) commemorates:

* JEAN SUGG (born 1897, arrested 21-3-1942, political prisoner, deported Nacht und Nebel, murdered 6-5-1945 Kaschitz)

This Stolperstein lie here for a political prisoner, persecuted, deported and/or 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.”
