Stumbling Stones Mittelweg 8

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Johanna Bauernfreund (born 1902, murdered in Lodz)
Heinrich Bauernfreund (born 1890, murdered in Lodz)
Hans Bauernfreund (born 1936, murdered in Lodz)
Fred Bauernfreund (born 1927, murdered in Lodz)
Mathilde Marx (born 1873, murdered in Auschwitz)
Johanna Rothschild (born 1868, murdered in Auschwitz)
Hermine Meier (born 1871, murdered in Auschwitz)
Josef Meier (born 1876, murdered in Theresienstadt on 7-11-1942)


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 Frankfurt am Main (in German).
