Stumbling Stone Jakobplatz

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on 23-4-2024,
commemorates:
Ludwig WEICHART (born 1891 in Biburg, as an antisocial he repeatedly stayed in the Dachau and Sachsenhausen concentration camps from 1933, murdered in Dachau on October 14, 1940).

"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."
