Stumbling Stones Rozengracht 18

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), laid in October 2025, commemorate:
* DAVID LEVISON (born 1901, murdered 27 January 1943 in Mauthausen)
* JANSJE LEVISON-LEVI (born 1890, murdered 16 February 1943 in Auschwitz)

These Stolpersteine are laid here for Jewish war victims who were persecuted, deported and murdered during the Second World War.

‘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 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.’
