Stumbling Stones Klosterstraße 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Chaja Moszkowicz (born 1887)
Moses Moszkowicz (born 1914)
Rachla (Rosa) Moszkowicz (born 1910)
Hermann Israel Moszkowicz (born 1921)
David Moszkowicz (born 1922)
Aaron Moszkowicz (born 1925)
Gisela Moszkowicz (born 1928)

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 Ahlen (in German).
