Stumbling Stones Brunnenstraße 41

These small, brass memorial plaques (called Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* Erna Herrmann, born 1898, deported 18 May 1943, Theresienstadt, murdered in Auschwitz.
* Else Luft née Meyer, born 1861, deported 17 August 1942, Theresienstadt, murdered 28 August 1942.


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.
