Stumbling Stones Friedrich-Engels-Straße 52

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Gerda Abraham (born 1910, murdered in Belzyce)
Bertha Meyerstein (born 1884, murdered in Ravensbrück on 3-4-1941)
Franziska Meyerstein (born 1910, murdered in Auschwitz)
Max Meyerstein (born 1879, murdered in Buchenwald on 21-3-1942)
Werner Meyerstein (born 1915, murdered in Belzyce)

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.
