Stumbling Stones Bergstraße 86

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Michael "Michel" Liebhold (born 1883, died after imprisonment on 27-12-1938)
Amalie "Mally" Liebhold (born 1893, escaped)
Ruth Liebhold (born 1914, escaped)
Martin Liebhold (born 1916, escaped)
Klaus Liebhold (born 1919, escaped)
Bertha "Berthel" Marx (born 1870, murdered during transport to Sobibor on 23-7-1943)

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.
