Stumbling Stones Harstenhoekweg 115

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 04-04-2024 , commemorate:

* MOSES BARSAM (born 1888, deported 11-01-1943 from Westerbork, murdered 14-01-1943, Auschwitz).
* LEA BARSAM-FISCHER (born 1893, deported 11-01-1943 from Westerbork, murdered 14-01-1943, Auschwitz).

These Stolpersteine are lying here for a Jewish war victim, 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."
