Op 1 mei 2018 werden acht struikelstenen gelegd voor het gezin Busnac-Frankenhuis, dat in mei 1940 met hun woonwagen in Moergestel was gestrand. De stenen zijn gelegd aan het begin van de Prinses Margrietstraat, het voormalige Hippelpad, waar de woonwagen ooit stond en waar Robert Busnac in juli 1940 werd geboren. Gunter Demnig legde de stenen voor het huis Rootven 17 in Moergestel.
