Stumbling Stones Fahrgasse 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Martin Moritz Kahn (born 1880, escaped)
Bella Paula Kahn (born 1882, escaped)
Regina Hilda Pick (born 1908, escaped)
Berthold Kahn (born 1909, escaped)
Sofie Elisabeth Waldmann (born 1910, escaped)
Alma Jeane Irene Kahn (born 1912, escaped)

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.

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