Stumbling Stones Harstenhoekweg 115

These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones), commemorate:

MOSES BARSAM, ( born 1888, 11-11-1943 deported from Westerbork, murdered 14-11-1943, Auschwitz)
LEA BARSAM-FISHER, (born 1893, 11-11-1943 deported from Westerbork, murdered 14-11-1943 Auschwitz)

These Stolpersteine are here for Jewish war victims, deported and murdered in World War II.

‘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 of the Nazis. Each plaque bears the victim's name, date of birth and their fate. 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.’
