Stumbling Stone Nieuw Schoonoord 2

This small brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on 27-4-2024, commemorates:

ELISE DRUKKER, (born 1874, deported 9-5-1943 to Westerbork, died 25-12-1943 Westerbork)

This Stolperstein is here for a Jewish war victim, deported and 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 a residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the name of the victim, date of birth and the fate of these people. 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.”
