Stumbling Stones Trachenberger Straße 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Sonja Steinhart (born 1910, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Kurt Steinhart (murdered in Auschwitz on 23-6-1942)
Marion Steinhart (born 1931, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Gert Steinhart (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz in 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 Dresden (in German).
