Stumbling Stones Sachsenstraße 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Manfred Katz (born 1927, murdered in Minsk)
Leo Katz (born 1891, murdered in Minsk)
Rosalie Katz (born 1889, murdered in Minsk)
Karlheinz Katz (born 1925, murdered in Minsk)

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.
