Article and short video on the dedication of Henriette Pimentel’s stolperstein, in Dutch. Excerpt (in translation):
Henriëtte Pimentel, the woman who saved hundreds of Jewish children from the Nazis during World War II, has had a stolperstein since today.

3. Angels of Amsterdam: The Daring Rescue of 600 Children During WWII (YouTube, 10 min.). “ When Dutch Jews were rounded up for deportation to concentration camps, in the Netherlands in 1942, a plan was hatched to sneak hundreds of Jewish children out of a Jewish daycare to safety with “foster families” in the countryside. From survivors’ stories to rescue workers’ heroic tales, this well-organized, subterfuge of a resistance movement is the hidden history of World War II heroes and heroines during the Holocaust.” (Submitted on October 30, 2024.)
