Jelka Schwarz married Max Fishcher. They had 5 children, including Regina, who was murdered with her mother. No information was found about when Max Fischer died. At least one of their children survived; clear information on the other 3 was not seen.
Stolpersteine were installed here for Jelka and Regina Fischer on 18 September 2019.
"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."
