Stumbling Stones Fleischhauerstraße 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Leopold Saalfeld (born 1887, murdered in Riga)
Helene Saalfeld (born 1887, murdered in Riga)
Margot Fanny Saalfeld (born 1926, murdered in Riga)
Emanuel Levi (born 1864, murdered in Riga)
Jettchen Levi (born 1868, murdered in Riga)
Frieda Levi (born 1907, murdered in Riga)

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.
