Stumbling Stones Norderstraße 111

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of Stumbling Blocks) commemorate:
Lejzer Nicinski
(born 1896, deported to Riga in 1941 and perished there)
Taube Nicinski, born Iglinski
(born 1896, deported to Riga in 1941 and perished there)
Isaak Hermann Nicinski
(born 1928, deported to Riga in 1941 and perished there)

Originally from Poland, the Nicinski family was deported 1941 to the Lodz Ghetto, where the chances of survival were minimal due to the catastrophic living conditions. Furthermore, every trace is missing and and it is assumed that they perished there.
The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (Stumbling Stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the last voluntary residence or sometimes the hiding address of (mostly Jewish) victims murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is stamped with the victim's name, date of birth, and place (often a Concentration Camp) and date of death. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: "A person is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."

Borne was the first place in the Netherlands where Stolpersteine were laid. This happened on 29-11-2007
