Stumbling Stone Bärenstrasse 7

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on November 2, 2020, commemorates:
* MARIE AHN (born 1908, forced sterilization in 1935, in a sanatorium in Aachen, moved to Düren in 1939, and moved to Hadamar on August 15, 1941, where she was murdered as part of the Aktion T4 program)

This Stolperstein lies here for a war victim, persecuted and murdered during World War II due to mental illness.

"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.”
