Stumbling Stones Maastrichterstraat 108

These brass plaquse (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on May 8, 2024, commemorate:
* ARTHUR KOSSMANN (born 1893, arrested in 1942, executed in Hasselt on December 31, 1942)
* ERNA HAAS (born 1900, deported from Dossin Barracks on July 31, 1943, murdered in Auschwitz in August 1943)

These Stolpersteine are here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported, and murdered during World War II.

"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 the last voluntary 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.”
