Stumbling Stones Am Berger Spielhaus 7

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jettchen Heß (born 1881, murdered in Theresienstadt on 20-11-1942)
Klara Heß (born 1883, murdered in Sobibor)
Nathan Heß (born 1878, murdered in Sobibor)
Walter Siegfried Weil (born 1928, murdered in Sobibor)
Richard Weil (born 1930, murdered in Sobibor)
Minna Weil (born 1890, murdered in Sobibor)

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).
