Stumbling Stones Graaf Wichmanlaan 37

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), laid in September 2025, commemorate:
* HARTOG JOSEPH POS (born 1884, deported June 1, 1943 from Westerbork, murdered June 4, 1943 in Sobibor)
* MARTHA POS-ELZAS (born 1890, deported 1-6-1943 from Westerbork, murdered 4-6-1943 Sobibor)

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

“Stolpersteine” is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate 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 provides an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: “A person is only forgotten when their name is forgotten.”
