Stumbling Stones Wielandstraße 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Daniel Gallinger (born 1866, murdered in Treblinka on 29-9-1942)
Paula Gallinger (born 1879, murdered in Treblinka on 29-9-1942)
Erich Neumann (born 1925, murdered in Sobibor on 16-7-1942)
Hermann Neumann (born 1889, murdered in Sobibor on 18-7-1942)
Johanna Neumann (born 1924, murdered in Sobibor on 18-7-1942)
Sophie Neumann (born 1898, murdered in Sobibor on 16-7-1942)

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.
