Stumbling Stones Marktstraat 241

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed in August 2023, commemorate:
THEOPHIEL CORNU (born 1893, resistance fighter Secret Army, arrested 28-7-1944, death march Blankenburg, murdered 7-4-1945 Halberstadt).
KAREL-AMEDE CORNU (born 1920, resistance fighter Secret Army, arrested 28-7-1944, murdered 19-11-1944 Meppen-Versen).

These Stolpersteine lie here for resistance fighters, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.

"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 sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. 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.”
