Stumbling Stones Wilhelmstraße 15

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Esther Lore Cohn (born 1926, murdered in Auschwitz in oktober 1944)
Sylvia Cohn (born 1904, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-9-1942)
Martha Oberbrunner (born 1890, murdered in Grafeneck)

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.
