Stumbling Stone Rue de Valmy 25

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on June 14, 2024, commemorates:
*BEILA KOMAR (born Galicka 1900, arrested and interned in September 1942, deported from Mechelen, murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942)

This Stolperstein lies here for a Jewish war victim, 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.”
