Stumbling Stones Ensheimer Straße 35

These small brass memorial plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* Eva Heimann née Ochs, born 1914, fled to Holland, interned at Westerbork, deported 1944 Theresienstadt, murdered in Auschwitz.
* Erich Ochs, born 1920, fled 1937 to Holland, 1939 Belgium, interned Drancy, deported 1943, murdered in Majdanek.

The small brass plaques of 10 by 10 cm in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities and villages, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. As of 2018, there are 70,000 of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
