These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* LOUIS MULLER (born 1905, deported from Westerbork, murdered 30-4-1943, Auschwitz)
* LENA MULLER-BLITZ (born 1908, deported from Westerbork, murdered 12-2-1943, Auschwitz)
These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.
Salo Muller was born in this house in 1936 and survived the war. He was the physiotherapist at Ajax. He has written a book about his youth, the war, going into hiding, and his further life: "Be nice and see you tonight". These were the last words his mother, Lena Muller-Blitz, said to him as she drove him to school.
"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.”
