Stumbling Stones Lessingstraße 68

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Georg Singer (born 1898, murdered in Groß-Rosen on 25-4-1942)
Helene Singer (born 1900, murdered in Auschwitz)
Wolfgang (Wolf Hans) Singer (born 1923, murdered in Auschwitz)
Irene Singer (born 1933, murdered in Auschwitz)

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 Magdeburg (in German).
