Stolpersteine in Roermond

Stolpersteine feature a 10x10cm brass plaque with name, birth and death date in the pavement in front of the home of the deportee(s). In Roermond, they can be found at various addresses. The Stolpersteine are an initiative of the municipality of Roermond and historian and honorary citizen Hein van der Bruggen. In the coming years, more Stolpersteine will be added for fallen Jewish residents and executed members of the resistance.
