Stumbling Stone Putmanstraat 27

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or Stumbling Stone), laid on 12-06-2025, commemorates:

* AREND JAN BRINKS (born 1908, resistance fighter, deported 1941 from Amersfoort, killed 11-6-1942 Bernburg)

This Stolperstein is here for a resistance fighter who was deported and killed in World War II.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (trip stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque bears the victim's name, date of birth and their fate. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: "A person is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."
