Stumbling Stones Westwagenstraat 107

These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones) laid here on 30-4-2020 commemorate:

Lamberta Antonia Maria (Bep) Buiteman-Huijsmans, born 4-7-1904, died on 16-1-1944 at the Bunkerdrama in Camp Vught.
Johannes Petrus Cornelis (Jan) Buiteman, born 31-10-1926, killed on 18-11-1944 in KZ Neuengamme.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig commemorating victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (trip stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement 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."
