Stumbling Stones Königsteiner Straße 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jenny Königsberger (born 1851, murdered in Theresienstadt on 18-9-142)
Felix Lewin (born 1873, murdered in Theresienstadt on 21-9-1942)
Sidonie Lewin (born 1876, murdered in Theresienstadt on 9-4-1943)
Henry Lewin (born 1902, murdered in Zuchthaus Frankfurt-Preungesheim in 1937)

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).
