Stumbling Stone Graanmarkt 9

On April 23, 2022, a Stolperstein was laid here in Kortrijk for Edmond Buysschaert.

These brass plaques measuring 10 by 10 cm can be found in the sidewalk in front of the houses whose former, usually Jewish, residents were persecuted and usually murdered by the National Socialists. The names and the date and place (usually a concentration camp) where they were murdered are punched into the small pictures.

These monuments also occur in many other cities and towns, especially in Germany but also in other European countries, and their number, now many thousands, is still increasing. Almost all Stolpersteine were laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
