These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones) laid here in April 2024 commemorate:

SAMUEL HAMME, (born 1894, died 4 5-1941 Winterswijk)
SIENTJE HAMME-KAUFMAN, ( born 1894, deported 16-2-1943 from Westerbork, murdered 19-2-1943 Auschwitz)

‘Stolpersteine’ is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig commemorating 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 bears the victim's name, year 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.’
