These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 3-4-2024, commemorate:

Barend Wolder, born 1885, arrested 29-3-1944, interned in Westerbork on 9-5-1944, deported to Auschwitz on 4-9-1944 and murdered in Central Europe in January 1945.

"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."
