A 2nd day of #Stolpersteine in #Jersey. We start with Clarence and Peter Painter, who died in Gross-Rosen and Dora-Mittelbau camps respectively for the offence of having a weapon. The stone was laid near their house and near Jersey College for Girls. They read the men’s stories.

The third # Stolpersteine in #Jersey is for Jack Soyer, who had a very unusual trajectory. He was sent for forced labour in Paris (digging unexploded bombs), escaped, joined the resistance, and was shot by the Germans the day before liberation.

Pat Fisher, daughter of Joe Tierney, holds his #Stolpersteine in #Jersey. 9 years ago the BBC made a documentary telling his story. Joe helped spread the BBC news and went to a range of camps, dying in a cattle truck in the closing days of the war near #Theresienstadt.

We pause to polish the #Jersey #Stolpersteine of Harold Le Druillenec, the only Brit alive (just about) at the liberation of #BergenBelsen. He testified at 3 war crimes trials and spoke extensively about his experiences.

Done some late-night research and discovered that the last 2 #stolpersteine installed at the same address for Samuel Simon and William Marsh in #jersey were grandfather and grandson. As Simon was Jewish, it explains why the Germans threw the book at William. πŸ“·Chris Addy

Next here in #Jersey we have laid a #Stolpersteine to Edward Muels, whose family gave shelter to a German soldier who was a Jehovah’s Witness. The soldier had accidentally shot another soldier. Muels was deported to and died in a Nazi prison in Germany of β€˜heart weakness’.

The final #Stolperstein is for a real heroine in #Jersey. Louisa Gould was murdered in #RavensbrΓΌck for the offence of sheltering a Russian slave labourer from a nearby camp. Her brother, Harold Le Druillenec, helped her and survived #Bergen-Belsen. He received a stone last year.

Visited the graves of Lucy Schwob / Claude Cahun and Suzanne Malherbe / Marcel Moore in #Jersey today. And to the right, in dark pink granite: the grave of Aliens Officer Clifford Orange, who was assiduous in registering Jews in the island during the #Occupation.
