The memorial placque on the Reinkenstraat

This placque above the door of number 19 Reinkenstraat was organized by Herman Niebhor, the owner of the cheese store. He wanted to remind present day residents of the history of the street. The basic story is that 24 Jews were secreted in the building and were betrayed by a neighbor during the German occupation of The Netherlands during World War II. The inscription says: "This memorial to the dead is, for them, a second life." Jean Bartou.
The text is: "On March 22, 1943, 24 Jewish neighbors who lived at #19, were arrested by the German occupiers. They were transported to Sobibor(Concentration Camp) and murdered."
