*MAARTEN WOLF (born 1896, deported from Westerbork and murdered 24 September 1943, Auschwitz)
*REGINA WOLF-KROPVELD (born 1897, deported from Westerbork and murdered 24 September 1943, Auschwitz)

Maarten Wolf was born on April 15, 1896, in Onstwedde. He married Regina on July 28, 1920, in Coevorden. Together they had two daughters, Ellie and Anny. Maarten was co-owner of a factory that produced rainwear. In 1942, the family decided to go into hiding, but upon arriving at their hiding place, they were arrested. A week later, on September 21, 1942, the entire family was transported to Auschwitz. Maarten, Regina, Ellie, and Anny were killed there on September 24, 1942.

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims 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 a residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the name of the victim, date of birth and the fate of these people. 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."
