Ruth, Selma and Joachim Ascher and Bella Neufeld were on the only deportation from Nürnberg to Izbica -- on 24 March 1942. Of the 426 Nürnberg residents taken on that day, none survived. On that same day, in order to make some room for incoming deportees, many persons already in Izbica were taken to the nearby extermination camp in Belzec and murdered.

Then, on 10 September 1942, the Nürnberg-Theresienstadt deportation took another 533 Nürnberg residents including Antonie Quittner and Eva Neufeld; only 16 survived the war. One source (holocaust.cz) states that Anton [note spelling] Quittner died in Theresienstadt and that Eva Neufeld was deported to Treblinka on 29 September 1942.

In June 1943, 16 Nürnberg residents, including Clotilde Rindskopf and her daughter Elisabeth, were deported from nearby Fürth to Auschwitz; none of the 16 survived.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the last voluntary residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: "A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."
