Stumbling Stones Dellstraße 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Schewa Sonnenberg (born 1867, murdered in Sobibor)
Leo Sonnenberg (born 1894, murdered in Auschwitz)
Dina Sonnenberg (born 1900, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Toni Sonnenberg (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Mirjam Sonnenberg (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Lea Sonnenberg (born 1930, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)

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 Duisburg (in German).
