Stumbling Stones Steinweg 11

These brass memorial plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
*LOUIS CUSSEL (born 1882, interned in Westerbork and murdered 13 May 1943, Westerbork)
*CLARA CUSSEL (born 1888, deported from Düsseldorf and murdered, Riga Ghetto)

Louis Cussel (born on December 9, 1882, in Anholt) worked as a cattle dealer. He was deported to Camp Westerbork in the Netherlands. Here he was murdered on May 13, 1943. His wife, Clara Cussel (born on October 29, 1888, in Anholt), was deported earlier. On December 11, 1941, she was deported from Düsseldorf to the Riga Ghetto, where she became a victim of the Holocaust.

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."
