Stumbling Stones Untergasse 17

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hilda Katz (born 1879, murdered in Riga)
Mathilde Katz (born 1900, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof)
Walter Katz (born 1910, murdered in Sobibor on 23-4-1943)
Irma Katz (born 1910, murdered in Sobibor on 23-4-1943)
Martin Katz (born 1936, murdered in Sobibor on 23-4-1943)
Susanne Katz (born 1940, murdered in Sobibor on 23-4-1943)

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.
