Stumbling Stones Peterstraße 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jakob Last (born 1901, murdered in Sobibor in 1943)
Leib Last (born 1874, murdered in Sobibor on 14-5-1943)
Max Last (born 1907, murdered in Auschwitz)
Sara Last (born 1870, murdered in Sobibor on 14-5-1943)

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.

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