Stumbling Stones Philippsbergstraße 25

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Berthold Goldschmidt (born 1901, murdered in Majdanek on 29-7-1942)
Frieda Goldschmidt (born 1902, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Lotte Goldschmidt (born 1931, murdered in Majdanek in 1942)
Paul Leo Goldschmidt (born 1932, murdered in Sobibor in 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).
