Stumbling Stones Hendrik van Viandenstraat 72

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jacob Vos (geb. 1896, vermoord op 31-3-1944)
Saartje Vos-de Lange (geb. 1898, vermoord in Auschwitz op 27-11-1942)
Sara Lina Vos (geb. 1924, vermoord in Auschwitz op 27-11-1942)
Joseph Karel Vos (geb. 1931, vermoord in Auschwitz op 27-11-1942)

The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted and mostly murdered by the National-Socialists, 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.
