Stumbling Stones Lemwerderstraße 19

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alfred Herz (born 1880, murdered in Minsk)
Rebecka Herz (born 1884, murdered in Minsk)
Sophie-Sarah Herz (born 1911, murdered in Minsk)
Heinrich Herz (born 1920, murdered in Minsk)
Moses Bollegraaf (born 1873, murdered in Minsk)
Bertha Bollegraaf (born 1904, murdered in Minsk)

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 Bremen (in German).
