Stumbling Stone Rijksstraatweg 39

These memorial stone (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorats:
- Alfred Louis Hemelraad (born 1927, deported 25.5.1943 from Westerbork, murdered 28.5.1943 Sobibor)

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
