Stumbling Stones Kirchgasse 43

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alfred Loeb (born 1869, murdered in Lublin on 30-6-1942)
Charlotte Loeb (born 1856, murdered in Theresienstadt on 8-10-1942)
Siegfried Simon
Frieda Simon
Albert Löb
Ernst Löb
Käthe Löb
Erna Löb

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).
