Stumbling Stones Fehrbelliner Straße 38

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) at the Landesirrenanstalt Neuruppin commemorate:
Gerhard G. (born 1914, murdered in Bernburg)
Arthur B. (born 1912, murdered in Bernburg)
Hildegard L. (born 1926, murdered in Bernburg)
Bergliot H. (born 1901, murdered in Bernburg)
Elsa J. (born 1902, murdered in Bernburg)
Herbert Sch. (born 1911, murdered in Bernburg)

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.
