Stumbling Stone 2 & 3 Golden Square

'A HUMAN BEING IS FORGOTTEN ONLY WHEN HIS NAME IS FORGOTTEN'
(Talmud)

Here the first Stumbling Stone in London was laid on May 30, 2022 for:

ADA VAN DANTZIG, murdered on February 14, 1943 in Auschwitz.

This Stumbling Stone is here for a Jewish war victim deported and murdered in the Second World War.

“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 pavement in front of the last voluntary residence or workplace of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved victim’s with the name, year of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. 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.”
