Stumbling Stones Mittelweg 3

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jenny Tendlau (born 1888, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Hilda Tendlau (born 1914, murdered in Minsk)
Lora Tendlau (born 1922, murdered in Minsk)

Samuel Künstlicher (born 1884, died 21-9-1937)
Rosa Künstlicher (born 1879, suicide 30-10-1942)
Lotte Künstlicher (born 1915, died 3-9-1939 MS Athenia)
Erich Künstlicher (born 1920, fled to Sweden)

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 Frankfurt am Main (in German).
