Stumbling Stones Neue Schönhauser Straße 15

These memorial stones (Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Joseph Niegho (1916 - 1945, Buchenwald)
Hanna Niegho nee Zamory (1921 - 1943, Auschwitz)
Elvira Niegho (1939 - 1943, Auschwitz)
Gisela Niegho (1942 - 1943, Auschwitz)
, murdered by the Nazis.

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the National-Socialists, 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.
