Stumbling Stones Kirchstraße 2

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Levi Goldsteen (born 1870, murdered in Auschwitz on 15-10-1942)
Lena Goldsteen (born 1876, murdered in Auschwitz on 15-10-1942)
Rosi Goldsteen (born 1906, murdered in Auschwitz on 15-10-1942)
Regina Goldsteen (born 1907, murdered in Sobibor on 11-6-1943)
Elfriede Goldsteen (born 1912, murdered in Auschwitz on 15-10-1942)

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.
