Stumbling Stones Kantorstraße 3

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erna Heumann (born 1886, murdered in Auschwitz)
Lotte Heumann (born 1912, murdered in Auschwitz)
Martha Lewin (born 1882, murdered in Auschwitz)
Anneliese Michaelis (born 1908, murdered in Auschwitz)
Judith Michaelis (born 1935, murdered in Auschwitz)
Helene Walter (born 1882, murdered in Theresienstadt on 9-3-1944)
Dr. Isidor Walter (born 1872, murdered in Theresienstadt on 2-4-1944)

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.
