Stumbling Stones Hagelkreuzstraße 3a

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Julie Ullmann (born 1888, murdered in Majdanek on 31-12-1942)
Berta Wolff (born 1893, murdered in Izbica)
Denny Wolff (born 1939, murdered in Izbica)
Henriette Wolff (born 1921, murdered in Izbica)
Julius Wolff (born 1892, murdered in Izbica)

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).
