Stumbling Stones Vaart Zuidzijde 59

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Joseph Carel Denneboom (born 1902, murdered in Auschwitz)
Roosje Denneboom-Brommet (born 1905, murdered in Auschwitz on 05-11-1942)
Amalia Denneboom (born 1928, murdered in Auschwitz on 05-11-1942)
Joël Denneboom (born 1930, murdered in Auschwitz on 05-11-1942)
Jozef Denneboom (born 1932, murdered in Auschwitz on 05-11-1942)
Benjamin Denneboom (born 1936, murdered in Auschwitz on 05-11-1942)
Louis Denneboom (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz on 05-11-1942)
Joël Denneboom (born 1869, murdered in Auschwitz on 26-10-1942)

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.
