Stumbling Stones Hannoversche Straße 69

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Iwan Alexander (born 1893, murdered in Auschwitz)
Frieda Alexander (born 1895, murdered in Auschwitz)
Günther Alexander (born 1922, murdered in Warschau)
Inge Rose Alexander (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Levy Alexander (born 1860, 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 Bremen (in German).
