Stumbling Stones Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz 19

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Franziska Kahn (born 1862, murdered in Theresienstadt in 1943)
Bertha Kahn (born 1891, murdered in 1945)
Wilhelm Kahn (born 1898, survived Theresienstadt)
Bernhard Kahn (born 1884, murdered in Lodz in 1942)

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.
