Stumbling Stones Neugasse 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Ludwig Weil (born 1887, escaped)
Sidonie Weil (born 1890, escaped)
Josef Weil (born 1914, escaped)
Lothar Weil (born 1916, escaped)
Lucie Kornsand (born 1913, escaped)
Siegbert Weil (born 1918, escaped)
Karoline Weil (born 1853, died on 6-10-1934)

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 Hattersheim am Main (in German).
