Stumbling Stones Kurfürstenstraße 78

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Rosa Strauss (born 1892, murdered in Minsk)
Erna Strauss (born 1915, murdered in Minsk)
Bernhard Strauss (born 1860, murdered in Minsk)

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.
