Stumbling Stones Rijksstraatweg 9

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
- Eli Rosenberg (born 1887, deported 28.8.1942 from Westerbork, murdered 31.8.1942 Auschwitz)
- Roosje Rosenberg-Valk (born 1886, deported 28.8.1942 from Westerbork, murdered 31.8.1942 Auschwitz)
- Adolf Roseberg (born, 1919, deported 4.5.1943 from Westerbork, murdered 7.5.1943 Sobibor)
- Emilie Helena Rosenberg (born. 1923, deported 2.2.1943 from Westerbork, murdered 5.2.1943 Auschwitz)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
