Stumbling Stones Bramscherstraße 39

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Emil Gottschalk (born 1901, murdered in Riga)
Erna Gottschalk (born 1893, murdered in Riga)
Frieda Gottschalk (born 1874, murdered in Theresienstadt in 1943)
Moses Gottschalk (born 1869, murdered in Theresienstadt on 15-12-1943)

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 Osnabrück (in German).
