Stumbling Stones Hochstraße 32

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Emil Fryda (born 1883, faith unknown)
Hans Fryda (born 1927, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-6-1944)
Betty Fryda (born 1896, faith unknown)
Anneliese Poppers (born 1921, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-6-1944)

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 pictures and information, please visit Stolpersteine in Bochum (in German).
