Stumbling Stones Graaf Florisstraat 33 / 33b

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Rita Kattenburg
Grietje Kattenburg-Hartz
, murdered or disappeared in Sobibor.

Elisabeth van Geldere-Blaaser
Jacob Levie van Geldere
Louis Jules van Geldere.

The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
