Stumbling Stones Brink 26

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Heiman Denneboom (born 1888, murdered on 08-10-1942)
Estella Carolina Denneboom - van Hoorn (born 1892, murdered on 08-10-1942)
Abraham Denneboom (born 1929, murdered on 08-10-1942)
Berend Denneboom (born 1932, murdered on 08-10-1942)
Betje Carolina Denneboom (born 1932, murdered 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.
