Stumbling Stones Grabenstraße 18

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Flora Frank (born 1898, murdered in Riga)
Rosa Frank (born 1920, murdered in Riga)
Friedrich Katz (born 1906, murdered in Riga)
Emil Katz (born 1904, murdered in Riga)
Ilse Katz (born 1913, murdered in Riga)
Herbert Katz (born 1909, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
