Stumbling Stones Bratislavská 250/69

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Sigfried Laufer (born 1876, murdered in Mauthausen op 13-10-1941)
Thea Laufer (born 1902, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Erwin Laufer (born 1905, murdered in Dachau op 28-3-1945)
Franz Laufer (born 1903, murdered in Dachau op 1-7-1942)
Helene Laufer (born 1881, murdered in Lublin)
Paul Laufer (born 1942, 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.
