Stumbling Stones Seestraße 49

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* SALOMON KUSIEL (born 1866, fled to Holland in 1939, died 20-6-1940, Rotterdam-Schiebroek)
* FANNY KUSIEL-GUTMANN (born 1869, fled to Holland in 1939, interned in Westerbork, deported to Sobibor in 1943, murdered on 14-5-1943)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported and/or 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 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.”
