Stumbling Stones Vierhäusergasse 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Isaak Morgenstern (born 1875, murdered in Theresienstadt on 3-12-1944)
Erna Sophie Morgenstern (born 1908, murdered in Auschwitz on 29-1-1943)
Cilli Morgenstern (born 1881, murdered in Auschwitz on 15-5-1944)
Hilda Bertha Rothschild (born 1907, escaped)
Tatjana Friedmann (born 1885, 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.
