Memorial Stone Vermeerstraat 42

One Memorial Stone was placed here on 23-03-2017 for:
* HERMANUS MARTINUS REINTEN (overleden 11-01-1945, Neuengamme, aged 50)

Hermanus Reinten was a sergeant with the Amersfoort municipal police. As a member of the National Order Service, Hermanus was involved in the attack on police commissioner Versteeg. After his arrest on 19 August 1943, he was imprisoned in the Oranjehotel in Scheveningen until 11 May 1944. On that date he was deported to Germany and put to work in a number of camps: Sachsenhausen, Dachau and Neuengamme. He died on 11 January 1945 in Neuengamme.

This Memorial Stone lies here for a resistance fighter, arrested and died 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 a known home address of the victims.
