Site: Ada Van Dantzig - stolpersteine (1 memorial)

W1, Golden Square, 3, Grafton House

3 Golden Square is the address of the former studio of Helmut Ruhemann, with whom Dantzig studied painting conservation.

The small stolpersteine is in the pavement in front of the door between the car and the lamppost in our photo.

From : "In German, it’s called a “stolperstein,” and is part of a project to commemorate victims of the Holocaust with a small cobblestone and a brass plaque at the person’s last known home or place of work. Since the project began in 1992, more than 100,000 stones have been placed in 26 countries across Europe, though none in the U.K., which was never occupied by the Nazis. But project organizers felt an exception should be made to memorialize Ada Dantzig. .."
