Stumbling Stones Koselstraße 49

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hermann Traub (born 1876, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Betti Traub (born 1879, murdered in Kaunas op 25-1-1941)
Samuel Fleischmann (born 1852, suicide 16-08-1942)

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

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

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Frankfurt am Main (in German).
