Stumbling Stones Schloßstraße 11

These small brass memorial plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Felix Nussbaum (born 1904, murdered in Auschwitz on 9-8-1944)
Philipp Nussbaum (born 1872, murdered in Auschwitz on 11-2-1944)
Rahel Nussbaum (born 1873, murdered in Auschwitz on 11-2-1944)

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.

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