Stumbling Stones Lindenstraße 21

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Natalie Kraul (born 1881, into hiding and survived the war)

Natalie Kraul survived the war because a cologne family gave her a place to hide in their house in the Eifel.

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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine in Cologne (in German).
