Stumbling Stones Nieuwstad 91

These brass memorial plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
SCHOONTJE ISRAËL-COHEN (born 1870, murdered 14 May 1943 Sobibor)
SALOMON ISRAËL (born 1902, internalized 1943 Amersfoort, died 21 August 1943 in Zutphen)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, 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 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."
