Stumbling Stones Engerserstraße. 8

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:

Rosa Mendel (born 1879) deported to Theresienstadt and murderred there on 19.10.1942.
Morit Mendel (born 1870) deported to Theresienstadt and murdered there on 13.12.1942.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were 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.
