Tumbling Stone Bogen 63

This small brass plaque (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), which was placed here on April 23, 2024, commemorates:

Herman Salomon Hamburger, born 1866, deported on 20-04-1943 from Westerbork to Sobibor and murdered there on 23-04-1943.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate 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."
