Stumbling Stones Eleonorenstraße 16

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Abraham Laub (born 1895, murdered in Piaski)
Itta Laub (born 1896, murdered in Piaski)
Marie Oppenheim (born 1881, murdered in Piaski)
Moritz Oppenheim (born 1877, murdered in Piaski)
Heinrich Wolff (born 1878, murdered in Piaski)
Selma Wolff (born 1883, murdered in Piaski)
Dr. Julius Thilo (born 1868, murdered in Auschwitz on 3-12-1942)

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 Wiesbaden (in German).
