This was powerful

A brass memorial block set in a sidewalk in Dordrecht, recognizing the arrest and deportation to Auschwitz of Mozes Jacob Kets de Vries.  I'm at a loss for words on what a single block by itself would have felt like.  In reality there were about two dozen of these blocks set in the sidewalk outside of what I understand had been a retirement home for aged men and women.  Each had a unique birth year, but each shared the same "murdered" date:  November 19, 1942.
