These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported and murdered in World War II.

Levie was a butcher, his brother Barend was a cattle dealer. Of the three daughters, only Miep Wonder survived the war and lives in Israel. Rivka was arrested with her husband Hamnon near the Swiss border. Kaatje, who lived in Amsterdam, was arrested there. Joël Denneboom, who lived with them, was the butcher's assistant. He was called Bram by the Weespers.


"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: one human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.
