Stumbling Stones Spittaalstraat 57

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

* ISRAËL ABRAHAM NOACH (born 1881, murdered 26 January 1943 Auschwitz)
* BETJE NOACH-NOACH (born 1883, murdered 26 January 1943 Auschwitz)

These Stolpersteine are laid here for Jewish war victims who were persecuted, deported and murdered during 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 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.”
