Stumbling Stones Reichsapfelstraße 15

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Emilie Kahn (born 1905, murdered in Auschwitz on 4-10-1944)
Otto Kahn (born 1891, murdered in Auschwitz on 28-9-1944)
Walter Daniel Kahn (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz on 4-10-1944)

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).
