Stumbling Stone Eestumerweg 27

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or tripstone) laid on 17 April 2024 commemorates:
Tamme Hendrik Afman, born 1922, succumbed on 14-11-1944 in Husum-Schwesin (outer camp of Neuengamme).

Tamme was born on 29 January 1922 in Ten Post, was a bookkeeper by profession and attended the Reformed church in the village. He joined the resistance with the LO and was arrested on 25 August 1944 for illegal activities, together with Hendrik Stijve. He helped people in hiding get an address. He was transferred to Camp Amersfoort on 29 August 1944 and put on transport to Neuengamme on 10 September 1944. On 14 November 1944, he died in Husum-Schwesin (D).
His name appears on the list of honour of fallen soldiers 1940-1945 (page 779). A memorial stone is located at the National Field of Honour in Loenen.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig commemorating 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."
