Stumbling stones Vianenstraat

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on 11-5-2025, commemorate:
* BRUNO HERZ (born 1879, interned 30-3-1944, deported 19-5-1944 from Kazerne Dossin, Mechelen, murdered May 1942 Auschwitz)
* KLARA HIRSCH (born 1887, interned 2-5-1944, deported 19-5-1944 from Kazerne Dossin, Mechelen, murdered May 1944 Auschwitz)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.

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.”
