Stumbling Stones Zülpicher Straße 302

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Charlotte Burbach (born 1895, suicide on 27-8-1942)
Hannelore Heimann (born 1921, murdered in Chelmno in 1944)
Ella Jacobsohn (born 1902, murdered in Chelmno in 1944)

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).
