Stumbling stones Vondelstraat 67 hs

STOLPERSTEIN / STUMBLING STONE
For:

Trude Oppenheimer,
murdered on 30-09-1942 in Auschwitz

Her parents and brother survived the war, they died in Israel. She was a nursemaid in Amsterdam, very probably with the family of Hugo Schloss in the Vondelstraat. The house map of Vondelstraat 67 states that they moved to Keizersgracht, Trude is also included, against better judgement. Trude had already been killed in 1942 and never came back.

The German artist Gunter Demnig started placing the first Stolpersteine in 1997 in the Berlin's Kreuzberg district.
Meanwhile there are Stolpersteine in many countries.
It reminds the Holocaust in World War II.
A Stolperstein is a concrete stone of 10 x 10cm, with a brass plate on top, in which the name, date of birth and decease and also place of decease is punched into.
The Stolperstein gets a place in the pavement in front of the former house of the victim.
By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives a private memorial to each victim.
His motto is: 'A HUMAN BEING IS FORGOTTEN ONLY WHEN HIS OR HER NAME IS FORGOTTEN'.
