Stumbling Stones Bahnhofstraße 46

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Sebald Strauss (born 1866, murdered in Theresienstadt on 6-10-1942)
Hedwig Strauss (born 1879, murdered in Theresienstadt on 21-9-1942)
Emma August (born 1882, murdered in Theresienstadt on 29-12-1942)
Lea Emilie Nussbaum (born 1895, murdered in Theresienstadt on 16-4-1943)
Maximilian Nussbaum (born 1893, murdered in Auschwitz on 6-10-1944)

The small brass plaques, 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, 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.
