Stumbling Stones Augustenburger Straße 86

These small brass memorial plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Justus Nussbaum (born 1901, murdered in Stutthof on 7-12-1944)
Sofie Herta Nussbaum (born 1910, murdered in Auschwitz on 6-9-1944)
Marianne Nussbaum (born 1935, murdered in Auschwitz on 6-9-1944)

Stolpersteine for Justus’s parents and brother Felix are at Schloßstraße 11 in Osnabrück.

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 Osnabrück (in German).
