Stumbling Stones Mauergasse 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
David Förster (born 1925, murdered in Bendzin)
Heinrich Förster (born 1930, murdered in Bendzin)
Melga Mathilde Förster (born 1928, murdered in Bendzin)
Moritz Förster (born 1898, murdered in Bendzin)
Regina Förster (born 1905, murdered in Bendzin)

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.
