Stumbling Stones Rheinstraße 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Siegfried Lazarus (born 1875, murdered in Theresienstadt on 4-2-1944)
Rosa Erna Lazarus (born 1905, suicide on 20-5-1941)
Adele Jette Lazarus (born 1877, murdered in Theresienstadt on 6-2-1943)
Gertrud Fanny Lazarus (born 1906, murdered in Sobibor)
Stephan Lazarus (born 1907, murdered in Buchenwald)
Hilde Lazarus (born 1885, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Emy Hirsch (born 1914, 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.
