Stumbling Stone Scheerengasse 4

This memorial stone (so called Stolperstein of stumbling block) commemorates:
Arthur Levy (born 1908, murdered in Theresienstadt)
Selma Cohn (born 1888, murdered in Maly Trostinec)
Ilse Cohn (born 1925, murdered in Maly Trostinec)
Samuel S. Cohn (born 1885, murdered in Maly Trostinec)

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.
