Stumbling Stones Lindenhorster Straße 237

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hermann Kleeblatt (born 1874, murdered in Bergen-Belsen in 1944)
Lina Kleeblatt (born 1873, died in Westerbork in 1943)
Walter Kleeblatt (born 1901, murdered in Sobibor in 1943)
Arthur Kleeblatt (born 1903, murdered in Auschwitz in 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 Dortmund (in German).
