Stumbling Stones Rheinstraße 38

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Anton Schiff (born 1875, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Selma Schiff (born 1874, murdered in Kaunas on 25-11-1941)
Alfred Schiff (born 1908, escaped)
Johanna Schiff (born 1908, murdered in Tötungsanstalt Brandenburg on 1-10-1940)

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.
