Stumbling Stones Onderlangs 22

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), commemorate:

* MOZES SCHELVIS, (born 1876, interned 18 November 1942, deported 18 January 1943 from Westerbork, murdered 28 January 1943 Auschwitz)
* RACHEL SCHELVIS-ROKKENSTIKKER, (born 1877, deported 18 January 1943 from Westerbork, murdered 28 January 1943 Auschwitz)

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 a known 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.”
