Stumbling Stones Werderstraße 24

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Thekla Isaacsohn (born 1869, murdered in Gurs on 3-5-1941)
Rosa Goldschmidt (born 1889, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Marion Spier (born 1908, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Katharina Preis (born 1913, murdered in Auschwitz)
Lina Geismar (born 1894, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Ludwig Geismar (born 1896, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)

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.
