Stumbling Stones Friedrich-Breuer-Straße

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erna Kaufmann (born 1903, faith unknown)
Karl Kaufmann (born 1894, faith unknown)
Ludwig Kaufmann (born 1896, faith unknown)
Ruth Kaufmann (born 1937, faith unknown)

The small brass 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.
