Stumbling Stones Kaai 47

These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), commemorate:
Jacob Machiel Taijtelbaum, (born 1896, murdered 1 October 1942, Auschwitz.)
Blanche Taijtelbaum-Levie, (born 1896, murdered 11 June 1943, Sobibor.)

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in 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 provided with the name of the victim, the date and place of birth (usually a concentration camp) and the 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."
