Stumbling Stones Schönaustraße 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jeanette Cohen (born 1899, murdered in Chelmo on 11-9-1942)
Karl Cohen (born 1895, murdered in Auschwitz in August 1944)
Hugo Kussel (born 1898, murdered in Minsk)
Albert Kussel (born 1941, murdered in Minsk)
Henriette Kussel (born 1910, murdered in Minsk)

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.
