Stumbling Stones Kronberger Straße 30

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Olga Schafranek (born 1893, murdered in Auschwitz on 25-8-1944)
Herbert Schafranek (born 1926, murdered in Lodz on 13-3-1943)
Heinrich Schafranek (born 1878, murdered in Lodz on 16-6-1942)
Friedrich Schafranek (born 1924, survived Auschwitz, Dachau and Kaufering)

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).
