Stumbling Stones Ehrenstraße 33-35

This memorial stones (so called Stolperstein of stumbling block) commemorates:
Berta Holzknecht (born 1889, murdered in Lodz)
Ernst Lowensberg (born 1891, murdered in Lodz)
Johanette Lowensberg (born 1893, murdered in Lodz)
Simon Heymann (born 1879, murdered in Auschwitz)
Esther Mary Heymann (born 1911, murdered in Auschwitz)
Adele Helene Heymann (born 1886, murdered in Auschwitz)

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 German cities 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.
