Stumbling Stones Feiko Clockstraat 182

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Mozes Philip Polak (born 1889, murdered in Sobibor on 28-5-1943)
Frouwke Polak-van Zand (born 1890, murdered in Sobibor on 28-5-1943)
Ida Margaretha Polak (born 1913, murdered in Auschwitz on 31-8-1944)

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.
