Stumbling Stones Poststraße 19

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Arthur Levy (born 1901, murdered in Gross-Rosen on 7-11-1941)
Irma Levy (born 1901, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Lina Levy (born 1869, murdered in Theresienstadt on 29-5-1944)
Lucie Levy (born 1935, 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).
