Stumbling Stones Marktstraat 11

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Abraham Arön Stern (born 1893, murdered on 23-04-1943)
Frouwien Stern-Magnus (born 1896, murdered on 23-04-1943)
Leny Louise Stern (born 1935, murdered on 23-04-1943)

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.
