Stumbling Stones Graf-Adolf-Straße 16

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Oskar Mainz (born 1866, murdered 16-8-1942 Theresienstadt)
Ruth Mainz-Löwy (born 1901, murdered in Izbica)
Max Mainz (born 1907, murdered in Izbica)
Uri Mainz (born 1941, murdered in Izbica)

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.
