Stumbling Stones Klausstraße 10

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Lina Goldschmidt (born 1872, murdered in Treblinka in 1942)
Heinz Werner Goldschmidt (born 1918, murdered in Sachsenhausen on 16-4-1940)
Käthe Cohn (born 1899, murdered in Auschwitz)
Arthur Cohn (born 1896, murdered in Auschwitz)
Judith Cohn (born 1935, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
