Stumbling Stone Grietsestraat 17

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), laid on 26 June 2025, commemorates:

* ESTHER GOUD-VAN DER HOEDEN (born 1908, deported 23 December 1942, murdered 9 April 1943 Sobibor)

These Stolpersteine lie here for a Jewish war victim, persecuted, deported and murdered in the Second World War.

‘Stolpersteine’ is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig in memory of victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (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 gives each victim an individual memorial. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: ‘A person is only forgotten when their name is forgotten.’
