Stumbling Stone Gelijkheidstraat 173

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on May 8, 2024,
commemorates:
Augustinus SESEE (born 1903, resistance fighter Rote Kapelle, arrested in August 1942, deported to Breendonk in April 1943, murdered in Berlin on July 28, 1943).

"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."
