Stumbling Stone Stationsstraat 23

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or Stumbling Stone), which was laid on 23-11-2023, commemorates:

Mina Maas-Baer born 1859
deported 8-12-1942 from Westerbork to Auschwitz and murdered there on 11-12-1942.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig commemorating victims of National Socialism (Nazism).

Stolpersteine (Stumbling Stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim's name, date of birth and place (usually a concentration camp) and date of death. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: "A person is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."

Borne was the first place in the Netherlands where Stolpersteine were laid. This happened on 29-11-2007
