Stumbling Stones Rue du Chrevreuil 16

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), commemorate:

* ICEK CYMBERKNOPF (born 1893, arrested 1942, interned Sint-Gillis, deported 25-8-1942, murdered in Auschwitz)
* ABRAHAM (ALBERT) CYMBERKNOPF (born 1922, armed resistance fighter, shot Hoeilaart 1943)

These Stolpersteine lie here for a Jewish war victim and a resistance fighter, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
