Stumbling Stones Maarstraße 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Günter Boers (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz on 17-8-1942)
Edith Boers (born 1906, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-9-1942)
Bertha Kahn (born 1899, faith unknown)
Ernst Kahn (born 1932, faith unknown)
Heinz Kahn (born 1929, faith unknown)
Kurt Kahn (born 1930, 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.
