Stumbling Stones Färberstraße 16

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Leon Arye-Labe Haber (born 1888, murdered in Lvov)
Batia Babette Haber (born 1922, fled out of Germany)
Rachel Haber (born 1890, murdered in Lvov)
Armin Abraham Haber (born 1925, murdered in Lvov)
Joachim Jacob Haber (born 1925, murdered in Lvov)
Josef Haber (born 1927, murdered in Lvov)

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).
