Stumbling Stones Walramstraße 31

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
James Stock (born 1899, murdered in Majdanek)
Josef Stock (born 1934, murdered in Sobibor)
Rosel Stock (born 1907, murdered in Sobibor)
Johanna Stock (born 1905, murdered in Sobibor)
Hermann Straus (born 1930, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Inge Straus (born 1934, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Selma Straus (born 1901, murdered in Auschwitz in 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).
