Stumbling Stone Reischlestrasse 31

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on 4-11-2019,
commemorates:
Maria PFAFFENZELLER (born 1883, admitted to the Kaufbeuren nursing home in 1940, moved to Hartheim where she was murdered as part of Aktion T4 on 5-6-1941).

"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."
