Stumbling Stones Lindenstraat 22

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 29-01-2025, commemorate:

* ABRAHAM BENJAMIN DE VRIES (born 1882, deported 12-12-1942 from Westerbork, murdered 15-12-1942, Auschwitz).
* MEINTJE DE VRIES-KOE (born 1888, deported 16-10-1942 from Westerbork, murdered 19-10-1942, 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 the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. 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.”
