Stumbling Stones Volksgartenstraße 10

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alexander Klibansky (born 1931, murdered in Minsk)
Dr. Erich Klibansky (born 1900, murdered in Minsk)
Hans Raffael Klibansky (born 1928, murdered in Minsk)
Meta Klibansky (born 1902, murdered in Minsk)
Michael Klibansky (born 1935, murdered in Minsk)

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).
