Stumbling Stones Molenbeekstraat 34

STOLPERSTEINE / STUMBLING STONES
for
Louis Muller
Lena Muller Blitz.

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.

The German artist Gunter Demnig started placing the first Stolpersteine in 1997 in the Berlin's Kreuzberg district.
Meanwhile there are Stolpersteine in many countries.
It reminds the Holocaust in World War II.
A Stolperstein is a concrete stone of 10 x 10cm, with a brass plate on top, in which the name, date of birth and decease and also place of decease is punched into.
The Stolperstein gets a place in the pavement in front of the former house of the victim.
By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives a private memorial to each victim.
His motto is: 'A HUMAN BEING IS FORGOTTEN ONLY WHEN HIS OR HER NAME IS FORGOTTEN'.

Borne was the first town in the Netherlands in which Stolpersteine were placed.
This happened the 29-11-2007.
