Stumbling Stone Brogniezstraat 172

This brass memorial plaque (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorates:
* MINNA FRIEDMANN-STEINITZ (born 1905 Poland, arrested 15-10-1942, interned Mechelen, deported 1942 Auschwitz, murdered 14-9-1942)

This Stolperstein lie here for a Jewish war victim, 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.”
