Stumbling Stones Schooldijk 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hartog Valk (born 1890, murdered in Auschwitz on 12-10-1942)
Jonas Valk (born 1917, murdered in Auschwitz on 31-1-1943)
Izaäk Valk (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-9-1942)
Maurits Valk (born 1930, murdered in Auschwitz on 12-10-1942)
Jetta Valk-Valk (born 1882, murdered in Auschwitz on 12-10-1942)

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.
