Stumbling Stones Arenbergstraße 33

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Max Neuwirth (born 1892, murdered in Dachau on 13-5-1941)
Henriette Neuwirth (born 1893, murdered in in Opatow in 1942)
Gisela Neuwirth (born 1921, murdered in Opatow in 1942)

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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Salzburg (in German).
