Stumbling Stones Löherstraße

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Gertrud Adler (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz on 3-8-1944)
Gisela Adler (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz on 3-8-1944)
Heinz Adler (born 1905, murdered in Auschwitz)
Herbert Adler (born 1928, murdered in Auschwitz)
Margarethe Adler (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz on 3-8-1944)
Reinhold Adler (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz on 1-5-1943)
Rolf Adler (born 1937, murdered in Dieselstra on 3-11-1942)
Ursula Adler (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz on 3-8-1944)
Wanda Michaelis (born 1905, murdered in Auschwitz on 3-8-1944)

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.
