Stumbling Stones Torenstraat 7

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Izak Mok (born 1874, murdered in Sobibor on 14-5-1943)
Sara Mok-van der Hoeden (born 1872, murdered in Sobibor on 14-5-1943)
Leentje Mok (born 1908, murdered in Sobibor on 14-5-1943)
Jansje van Monnikendam-Mok (born 1918, murdered in Sobibor on 9-7-1943)

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.

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.
