Stumbling Stones Dittrichring 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Ludwig Frankenthal (born 1885, murdered in Auschwitz on 14-10-1944)
Wolfgang Frankenthal (born 1931, murdered in Auschwitz on 14-10-1944)
Günther Frankenthal (born 1929, died after liberation on 28-2-1945)
Ilse Frankenthal (survived)

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 Leipzig (in German).
