Stumbling Stones Roseggerstraße 17

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Mathilde Rosa Cahn (born 1895, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Robert Cahn (born 1881, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Ludwig Reinheimer (born 1894, murdered in Flossenbürg)
Hanna Reutlinger (born 1901, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Gerd Reutlinger (born 1937, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Rolf Reutlinger (born 1937, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)

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).
