Stumbling Stone Irisstraat 12

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on 8-5-2025, commemorates:

* FERDINAND BLOMME (b. 1925, resistance fighter secret army, arrested and deported in 1944, liberated from Wolfenbüttel)

This Stolperstein lies here for a resistance fighter, persecuted, deported but liberated in the Second World War.

"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.”
