Stumbling Stones Lambsheimerstraße 79

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Siegfried Samuel (born 1885, died after imprisonment on 23-11-1941)
Hulda Samuel (born 1895, escaped)
Doris Thea Samuel (born 1922, escaped)
Edith Samuel (born 1925, 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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Frankenthal (in German).
