Stumbling Stones Mittelseestraße 31

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Irene Abraham (born 1887, faith unknown)
Anna Engländer (murdered in Theresienstadt on 15-1-1943)
Berta Klauber (murdered in Theresienstadt on 10-11-1942)
Isidor Klauber (murdered in Theresienstadt)
Fritz Mühlstein (murdered in Theresienstadt on 29-1-1943)
Johanna Schiller (born 1903, faith unknown)
Max Schiller (born 1890, faith unknown)
Thea Berta Sichel (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz in 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 Offenbach am Main (in German).
