Stumbling Stone Kaiserstraße 17

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Max Frankenberg (born 1884, escaped to South Africa 1939)
Jenny Frankenberg (born 1885, murdered in Zamosc 1942)
Lieselotte Terwilliger (born 1918, escaped to England 1936)
Edith Frankenberg (born 1919, escaped to England 1935)
Erich Frankenberg (born 1920, murdered in Zamosc 1942)
Herbert Frankenberg (born 1922, murdered in Zamosc 1942)

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.
