Stumbling Stones Bergstraße 10

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Rosa Cahn (born 1862, murdered in Lodz on 7-3-1942)
Adolf Kohls (born 1896, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-4-1943)
Elsa Kohls (born 1894, murdered in Lodz on 20-4-1942)
Edith Kohls (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz)
Lieselotte Kohls (born 1922, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
