Stumbling Stones Bernstorffstraße 99

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erwin Pulka (born 1938, murdered in Lodz)
Hella Pulka (born 1898, murdered in Lodz)
Hermann Pulka (born 1923, murdered in Lodz)
Markus Pulka (born 1927, murdered in Lodz)
Isaak Pulka (born 1921, murdered in Lodz)
Gerda Pulka (born 1921, murdered in Chelmno on 12-4-1942)
Szlame Pulka (born 1896, murdered in Sachsenhausen on 25-6-1940)

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.
