Stumbling Stone Alfredstraße 38

This small brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone) commemorates:

* Karl Samuel Stern, born 1898, deported Warsaw Ghetto 1942, murdered.

Karl Samuel Stern, the son of a dispatcher and a homemaker, was born in Berlin. He went to Hamburg in February 1936 and joined the German-Israeli community there. In 1936, he said he was a writer, but no evidence of his writing has been found. He lived as a subtenant at 2 addresses in Hamburg. He did not marry. In 1937, he moved to Cologne. When he returned to Berlin is not known.

On 14 April 1942, he was deported as a "draftsman" and an able-bodied prisoner from Berlin to the Warsaw Ghetto. No further information about his fate was found.

Although he lived at Alfredstrasse 37, his stumbling stone was installed across the street at No. 38 "for technical reasons."
