Stumblin Stones Peperstraat 44

These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), laid here on 29-9-2019 commemorate:

Emanuel Maisonpierre, born 1858, arrested 2-9-1944 and, after a short stay at the Venlo police station, murdered on 14-9-1944 in Velden near the Black Water.
Helena Maisonpierre-Compris, born 1886, arrested 2-9-1944 and, after a short stay at the Venlo police station, murdered on 14-9-1944 in Velden near the Black Water.

"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."
