Stumbling Stones Schanzstraße 7

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Paula Bella Weil (born 1889, murdered in Auschwitz)
Max Weil (born 1879, murdered in Rivesaltes on 14-9-1941)
Berta Kahn (born 1885, murdered in Auschwitz)
Adolf Kahn (born 1880, murdered in Rivesaltes on 28-8-1941)
Franz Josef Bodenheimer (born 1890, murdered in Gurs)
Arthur Maier (born 1899, faith unknown)
Irma Rosa Maier (born 1902, faith unknown)

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.
