Stumbling Stone Wooldstraat 63

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on 9-11-2025, commemorates:
* WILLEM BLOM (born 1885, arrested 10-1-1942 Arnhem, deported 24-4-1942 forced labour, murdered 24-5-1942 Büchenwald)

This Stolperstein is dedicated to a Jewish war victim who was persecuted, deported and murdered during the Second World War.

"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 known 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.”
