Stumbling Stone Walstraat 25 (voorheen 23a)

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

* EVERDINA DE LEEUW (born 1892, deported 29 January 1943 from Westerbork, murdered 1 February 1943 in Auschwitz)

This Stolperstein lies here for a Jewish war victim, persecuted, deported and murdered during the Second World War.

‘Stolpersteine’ is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig in memory of 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.’
