Stumbling Stones Kämmergasse 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Eine Sinteza (born 1912 vermoord in Auschwitz on 1-12-1943)
Ein Romm (born 1901, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)
Eine Rommni (born 1939, murdered in Auschwitz on 22-7-1943)
Eine Rommni (born 1919, murdered in Auschwitz on 10-3-1944)
Eine Rommni (born 1879, murdered in Auschwitz on 28-8-1943)

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).
