Stumbling Stones Thomas-Mann-Straße 64

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Elisabeth Herrmanns (born 1910, died after imprisonment in 1947)
Dr. Ernst Herrmanns (born 1874, murdered in Theresienstadt on 9-3-1944)
Tuni Herrmanns (born 1878, died after imprisonment)

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.
