Stumbling Stone Rue Léon Gambetta 86

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on September 20, 2024, commemorates:
* ELIE RABINOVITCH (born 1895, arrested in 1941, interned in Loos prison, executed on March 31, 1942, in Fort Vert Galant)

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