Stumbling Stone Koningin Elisabethlei 4

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 12-5-2024 commemorate:
* ALOIS PEERAER
* ALFONS PEERAER
The Peeraer brothers were two Turnhout resistance fighters. They were both arrested through the betrayal of their sister Stella in February 1944. Both died in 1945 in the Flossenburg concentration camp.

These Stolpersteine lie here for resistance fighters, 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 the last voluntary 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.”
