Stumbling Stone Johan de Wittstraat 31

This memorial stone (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorates:
* ABRAHAM DUITS (born 01-02-1909, murdered 16-11-1944 Neuengamme).

This Stolperstein lies here for a Jewish war victim, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.

Although this native of Dordrecht was transported from Amersfoort to Neuengamme, his son Sal wanted a Stolperstein installed at his parents' house.

"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.”
