Stumbling Stones Sportlaan 88

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Meijer Cohen (born 1899, murdered in Auschwitz IV (Blechhammer) on 21-01-1945)
Miena Cohen-Van Coeverden (born 1902, murdered in Auschwitz on 08-10-1942)
Hartog Cohen (born 1923, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-09-1942)
Anna Cohen (born 1926, murdered in Auschwitz on 08-10-1942)
Harry Joshua Cohen (born 1928, murdered in Auschwitz on 08-10-1942)
Rika Cohen (born 1941, murdered in Auschwitz on 08-10-1942)
Hanna Cohen-Bierman (born 1858, murdered in Auschwitz on 08-10-1942)

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.
