Memorial Stones Hofstraat 3

Two Memorial Stones were placed here on 02-11-2015 for:
* MOZES ISRAËL LEWIJT (born 21-5-1870, murdered 20-3-1943, Sobibor, aged 72)
* JAANTJE LEWIJT-DE JONG (born 11-1-1882, murdered 20-3-1943, Sobibor, aged 61)

These Memorial Stones lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.

These memorial stones are located here for victims of National Socialism (Nazism). They are often placed as an alternative to the official Stolpersteine of the Gunter Demnig project. Where there is no Stolperstein but people still want to commemorate, a slightly different memorial stone or plague is used. The memorials are in most cases laid in front of the last known home address of the victims.
