Stumbling Stone Julianastraat 11

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or Stumbling Stone), commemorates:

ALFRED SCHEIDEMANN (born 1884, deported 2-3-1943 from Westerbork, murdered 5-3-1943 Sobibor) This Stolperstein is here for a Jewish war victim, persecuted and murdered in World War II.

“Stolpersteine” is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig commemorating victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (trip stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk 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.”
