Stumbling Stones Bahnhofstraße 7

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Julius Klein (born 1872, murdered in Lodz on 19-4-1942)
Rosa Klein (born 1874, murdered in Lodz on 10-4-1942)
Alice Frohwein (born 1904, escaped)
Ludwig Frohwein (born 1897, murdered in Auschwitz)
Lea Frohwein (born 1930, died in Belgium on 21-4-1943)
Arnold Frohwein (born 1935, escaped)

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).
