Stolpersteine route

Stolpersteine are small square stones of 10x10x10 centimetres, covered with a bronze-coloured metal plate. These stones commemorate the Jewish fellow citizens who were deported to concentration camps in the Second World War. The name, date of birth, date and place of deportation and date and place of murder of the victim are recorded on the metal plaque. The Stolpersteine are placed in the pavement in front of the house where the victim last lived.

Below is a small selection of all Stolpersteine in Dordrecht. View the entire route here or read all stories on www.stolpersteine-dordrecht.nl.
