Stumbling Stones Sigismundstraße 21

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Arthur Godlewsky (born 1892, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)
Elsa Godlewsky (born 1895, murdered in Auschwitz on 28-8-1942)
Beate Bravmann (born 1927, escaped)
Flora Bravmann (born 1889, escaped)
Jakob Bravmann (born 1889, escaped)
Siegbert Bravmann (born 1913, 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 Konstanz (in German).
