Stumbling Stones Driekoningendwarsstraat 13

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones), laid on 26-09-2024, commemorate:

Jacob Isaäk van der Horst (born 1913, murdered 31-3-1944 Auschwitz)
Caecilia van der Horst-Groote (born 1889, murdered 23-4-1943 Sobibor)

These Stolpersteine are here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, 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.’
