Stumbling Stone Commelinstraat 6

This small, brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone) commemorate:

* SIGMUND FRIEDMANN, born 1899, deported from Westerbork, murdered on June 11, 1943 in Sobibor.

This Stumbling Stone is here for a Jewish war victim deported and murdered in the Second World War.

"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 the last voluntary residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is punched 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."
