Stumbling Stones Marktstraße 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Josef Katz (born 1870, murdered in Auschwitz)
Thekla Katz (born 1881, murdered in Gurs on 14-12-1940)

The small copper 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.
