Stumbling Stones Gumbertstraße 91

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Salomon Brasch (born 1884, murdered in Minsk)
Hedwig Brasch (born 1896, murdered in Minsk)
Ludwig Brasch (born 1929, murdered in Minsk)
Auguste Leven (born 1878, suicide on 15-6-1942)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or 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.
