Stumbling Stones Häuschensweg 30

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alfred Sax (born 1905, murdered in Minsk)
Harry Sax (born 1936, murdered in Minsk)
Lina Sax (born 1907, murdered in Minsk)
Sonja Sax (born 1937, murdered in Minsk)
Helene Wallach (born 1878, murdered in Chelmno in September 1942)
Markus Max Wallach (born 1877, murdered in Lodz on 28-12-1941)

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).
