Leo Blumenthal, memorial stone February 2021
Leo Blumenthal
*February 26th, 1907 in Fulda
He lived with his parents and five siblings in Fulda at Johannisstrasse 12.
On October 19, 1934 he moved to the Netherlands. There he lived in hiding from 1940 to 1942.
On July 15, 1942, Leo, his pregnant wife and their two children were deported from Westerbork to Auschwitz and murdered.
As student group, we would like to remember the murdered people in particular on their birthdays, starting in February 2021. With many victims we do not know when they were torn from life, but on a birthday we can think specifically of this one person and show him or her and the families that this person has not been forgotten.
For this reason we label a stone with the name and the birthday. Sometimes we’re even lucky enough to have a photo of the person so we can look into his and her eyes.
We do not forget you!
