These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 20-06-2024 commemorate:

* ROSETTA VAN PRAAGH-GODFRIED (born 1907, in hiding clinic Oud Rosenburg, Den Haag, deported 1943 from Westerbork, murdered 05-03-1943, Sobibor).
* EVA VAN PRAAGH (born 1932, deported 22-01-1943 from 'Apeldoornsche Bosch, murdered 25-01-1943, Auschwitz).

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, 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.”
