Stumbling Stone Terlicht 76

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on November 8, 2025, commemorates:
*ALFONS DE BOECK (born 1915, resistance fighter in the secret army, "Le Perdreau" safe house, died in a firearms incident on November 18, 1944, which he succumbed to in Aalst on November 21, 1944)

This Stolperstein lies here for a resistance fighter who died after a firearms incident during 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 the last voluntary 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.”
