Stumbling Stones Biesboschstraat 40-III

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 27-08-2012, commemorate:
* ISAK SIMON MOGENDORFF (born 1918, deported 1941, murdered 10-9-1941, Mauthausen)
* DIENTJE MOGENDORFF-KAN (born 1886, deported 1943, murdered 7-5-1943, Sobibor)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, 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 a known 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.”
