Stumbling Stones Oudezijds Voorburgwal 191

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones) commemorate:

* MOZES VAN DE STAR (born 1882, interned 7 August 1943, deported 24 August 1943 from Westerbork, murdered 27 August 1943 in Auschwitz.
* ALIDA VAN DE STAR-VLEESCHDRAGER (born 1887, interned 7-8-1943, deported 24-8-1943 from Westerbork, murdered 27-8-1943 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 in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
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.’
