Stumbling Stone Neerwegstraat 4

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed 6-5-2023, commemorates:
Albert DE VADDER (born 1916, died 21-4-1945 Ellrich-Juliushütte).

"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 a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date 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"
