Stumbling Stones Hauptstrasse 193

These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
-Friedrich MARX (born 1888, deported and murdered in Minsk in 1941).
-Mira MARX (born 1894, deported and murdered in Krasniczyn in 1942).
-Adolf MARX (born 1892, under protection measure in Dachau in 1938, deported in 1941 and murdered in occupied Poland).

"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."
