Stumbling Stones Lehnitzstraße 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Max Kroker (born 1908, murdered in Meseritz-Obrawalde on 15-7-1944)
Luzie Popowski (born 1908, survived)
Doris Langer (born 1929, survived)
Peter Kroker (born 1936, survived)

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 Oranienburg (in German).
