Stumbling Stones Feiko Clockstraat 161

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Levi Simons (born 1890, murdered in Sobibor on 21-5-1943)
Elisabeth Simons-Hanouwer (born 1901, murdered in Sobibor on 21-5-1943)
David Simons (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz on 19-2-1943)
Joseph Simons (born 1929, murdered in Sobibor on 21-5-1943)
Daan Simons (born 1938, murdered in Sobibor on 21-5-1943)

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.
