Stumbling Stones Walstraat 5

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones), laid on 12 June 2025, commemorate:

* BERNARD ROSENBAUM (born 1891, deported from Westerbork in 1943, murdered on 8 October 1943 in Auschwitz)
* ELISABETH-ROSENBAUM-FRANKFORT (born 1890, deported from Westerbork in 1943, murdered on 8 October 1943 in Auschwitz)
* BRUNETTA FRANKFORT-WOLFSHEIMER (born 1852, deported 11 May 1943 from Westerbork, murdered 14 May 1943 in Sobibor)

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 in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the former residences of (mostly Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque bears the name of the victim, their date of birth and their fate. In this way, Gunter Demnig provides an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: ‘A person is only forgotten when their name is forgotten.’
