Stumbling Stones Prins Bernhardstraat 2

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 28-08-2012, commemorate:
* HERMAN ISIDOOR DE LIEME, Chief Cantor 1929-1943 (born 1905, murdered 31-05-1944, Auschwitz)
* BETTY DE LIEME-POLAK (born 1909, murdered 28-01-1944, Auschwitz)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported and/or 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.”
