Stumbling Fischenicher Straße 56

These memorial stones (so called Stolperstein of stumbling block) commemorates:
Sybilla Levy (born 1862, murdered in Theresienstadt 8 juli 1942)
Arthur Levy (born 1896, murdered in Minsk 24 juli 1942)
Wilhelmine Levy (born 1896, murdered in Minsk 24 juli 1942)
Albert Levy (born 1894, murdered in Minsk 24 juli 1942)
Herbert Levy (born 1924, murdered in Minsk 24 juli 1942)
Werner Levy (born 1929, muredered in Minsk 24 juli 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 pictures and information, please visit Stolpersteine in Cologne (in German).
