Stumbling Stones Zeil 43

This small brass memorial plaque (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorates:
Karoline Nussbaum (born 1867, murdered in Theresienstadt on 15-9-1942)
Josef Nussbaum (born 1869, suicide Buchenwald 17-6-1942)

The small brass 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).
