Stumbling stones Korte Veldstraat 79

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 12-5-2024, commemorate:
* Family BIALER-HERZ
The Bialer-Herz Family; father Awigdor, mother Ilse, son Isy and daughter Marie have lived in Turnhout since April 1941. They were interned on Feb. 28, 1942 and deported to Auschwitz from the Dossin Barracks on Aug. 4, 1942. The Bialer-Herz family will not survive the war.

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 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.”
