Stumbling Stones Formesstraße 44

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Abraham Mohl (born 1876, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Hanna Mohl (born 1924, murdered in Lodz in juli 1944)
Heinrich Josef Mohl (born 1920, murdered in Lodz on 26-5-1944)
Martha Mohl (born 1927, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Rosalie Mohl (born 1893, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Walter Mohl (born 1922, murdered in Lodz on 22-10-1942)

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).
