Stumbling Stones Uferstraße 30

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adolf Isay (born 1875, submerged in the war and survived)
Theresia Isay (born 1880, submerged in the war and survived)

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 information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine in Cologne (in German).
