Stumbling Stones Annastraße 26

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Berta Hirnheimer (born 1914, murdered in Auschwitz on 12-10-1944)
Dr. Benno Jakob Hirnheimer (born 1897, murdered in Minsk in 1944)
Getta Hirnheimer (born 1861, murdered in Theresienstadt on 18-11-1942)
Moses Menachim Hirnheimer (born 1942, murdered in Auschwitz on 12-10-1944)
Rachel Mirjam Hirnheimer (born 1939, murdered in Auschwitz on 12-10-1944)
Wolf Hirnheimer (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz on 12-10-1944)

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.
