Stumbling Stones Bernardstraße 57

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Henny Baum (born 1887, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Otto Baum (born 1879, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Alice Baum (born 1913, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Judis Baum (born 1939, 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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Offenbach am Main (in German).
