Stumbling Stones Boomstraat 1

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed in May 2021, commemorate:
* BENJAMIN JACOB KRÖNSTEIN (born 1922, deported 1942 Auschwitz, murdered 31-3-1944)
* SARA PAIS (born 1891, forced departure 1942 Amsterdam, died 28 March 1943)

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.”
