Stumbling Stones Auf dem Hunnenrücken 29

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adolf Neumann (born 1902, murdered in Lager Weißer Adler in Gutfeld on 9-3-1942)
Hedwig Neumann (born 1899, murdered in Chelmno in 1942)
Josef Schorsch (born 1875, murdered in Lodz on 19-2-1942)
Röschen Schorsch (born 1898, murdered in Chelmno in 1942)
Helene Waller (born 1889, murdered in Riga)

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