Stumbling Stones Rue la Paix d’Utrecht 12

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on September 11, 2024, commemorate:
* JONAS RADOSZYCKI (born 1895, arrested September 11, 1942, interned and deported via Mechelen, murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942)
* CHAJA RADOSZYCKI-KNOBEL (born 1905, arrested September 11, 1942, interned and deported via Mechelen, murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported and murdered in 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.”
