Stumbling Stones Leukertsweg 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jonas Bendheimer (born 1870, died in Frankfurt on 2-10-1941)
Rosa Bendheimer (born 1864, died in Frankfurt on 25-6-1941)
Selma Schallemacher (born 1896, escaped)
Paula Elisabeth Landau (born 1898, murdered in Sobibor)
Edith Beate Strauss (born 1925, murdered in Sobibor)
Meta Jenny Strauss (born 1924, murdered in Sobibor)
Richard Landau (born 1897, murdered in Majdanek)

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.
