Stumbling Stones & Plaque Voorstraat 14A

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Salomon Levie,
Mina Levie-Monas,
Charles Berius Levie,
Elly Max Levie,
Adriana de Vries
, murdered or disappeared in the Holocaust.

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.

A plaque on the building commemorates the family.

In addition to the Stolpersteine and the Plaque at Voorstraat 14A in Spijkenisse, a bronze statue of the shepherd dog ''Max'' of the (same) Levie family has now also been unveiled in front of the building.

Dog Max lay in front of the butcher's shop waiting for Jewish owners who never came home.
