Stumbling Stone Teniersstraat 35

This brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), commemorates:

* MAURITS VAN THIJN, (born 1891, died 16 November 1943 in Nijmegen)

This Stolperstein is dedicated to a Jewish victim of war who was persecuted, deported and/or murdered during the Second World War. Maurits van Tijn died in hiding for unknown reasons.

"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.”
