Stumbling Stones Bahnstraße 65-67

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Meta Mendel-Süsskind (born 1887, murdered September 1942 in Chelmno/Kulmhof)
Ruth Mendel (born 1921, murdered July 1944 in Chelmno/Kulmhof)
Meyer Süsskind (born 1856, murdered 20-8-1942 in Theresienstadt)
Paul Mendel (born 1883, murdered 12-4-1943 in Lodz/Litzmannstadt)
Jenny Müller-Süsskind (born 1883, murdered 20-8-1942 in Theresienstadt)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or 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.
