Stumbling Stone Klostergaten 35

This memorial stone (so called Stolperstein of stumbling block) commemorates:
Hirsch Komissar

Here lived
HIRSCH KOMMISSAR
Birth Year 1887
Arrested 12.1.1942
Falstad
Killed 7.10.1942

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.
