Stumbling Stones An der Hülling 2

These small brass memorial stones (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
Gittl (Gisela) Strum (born 1871, murdered in Theresienstadt on 2-7-1944)
Josef Simon Strum (born 1875, murdered in Theresienstadt on 22-3-1944)


"Stolpersteine" is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: "A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."
