Stumbling Stones Engelbertstraße 44

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Emma Buxbaum (born 1881, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Lea Hecht (born 1889, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Felix Adolf Jülich (born 1884, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Irma Jülich (born 1897, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Recha Kniebel (born 1887, murdered in Lodz)
Sara Monetta (born 1895, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)
Karl H.Raphaelson (born 1903, murdered in Lodz on 29-6-1942)
Helen Voss (born 1896, 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.
