Stumbling Stone Ganghoferstrasse 2

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on 4-5-2017,
commemorates:
Karl NOLAN (born 1891, imprisoned as a member of the KPD in St. Georgen from 1934 to 1935, murdered in Dachau on 31-10-1937).

"Stolpersteine" is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: "A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."
