Stumbling Stones Nieuwe Kerkstraat 22b

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Joseph Vigeveno (born 1894, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Sophia Rosa Vigeveno-Levij (born 1897, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Hans Richard Vigeveno (born 1925, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Johanna Vigeveno (born 1928, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Eduard Gabriël Vigeveno (born 1931, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)

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 but also in other European countries, 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.
