Stumbling Stones Neugasse 43

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Eduard Allmeier (born 1879, escaped)
Jenny Allmeier (born 1892, escaped)
Siegfried Allmeier (born 1905, murdered in Majdanek)
Berta Allmeier (born 1907, escaped)
Bella Allmeier (born 1914, escaped)
Ruth Allmeier (born 1923, 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 Hofheim am Taunus (in German).
