Stumbling Stones Eilbeker Weg 87

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erich Wagener (born 1927, murdered in Lodz on 4-7-1943)
Ilse Wagener (born 1898, murdered in Lodz on 12-7-1942)
Max Moses Wagener (born 1885, murdered in Lodz on 13-7-1942)
Hans Wagener (born 1929, murdered in Lodz)

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.
