Stumbling Stone Kromme Mijdrechtstraat 6 3th floor

This brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on 07-10-2021, commemorates:
* ISAÄC WALVISCH (born 1888, arrested 26-8-1942, deported from Westerbork, murdered 14-9-1942, Auschwitz)

This Stolperstein lies here for a Jewish war victim, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.

Isaäc Walvisch was murdered in Auschwitz on September 14, 1942. He was a merchant and Jewish, and until his arrest lived with two families in the Rivierenbuurt in Amsterdam. He was arrested in August 1942 by the vice squad on 'suspicion' of homosexuality. He was sent to Westerbork on September 10 and the next day to Auschwitz, where he was gassed.


"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.”
