Stumbling Stone Merwedestraat 6

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), laid on 13-4-2023, commemorates:

Dina Mesritz-van Beugen, born 1900, murdered 19-11-1943 in Auschwitz.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (trip stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim's name, date of birth and place (usually a Concentration Camp) and date of death. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: "A person is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."
