Stumbling Stones Bismarckstraße 78

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Josef Winter (born 1886, murdered in Lodz)
Adele Winter (born 1885, murdered in Lodz)
Hugo Herzberger (born 1877, murdered in Lodz on 23-8-1942)
Werner Herzberger (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz)
Ida Zuckermann (born 1883, murdered in Lodz)
Theo Zuckermann (born 1914, murdered in Lodz)

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 Mönchengladbach (in German).
