Stumbling Stones Kirchplatz 8

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Helene de Vries (born 1881, murdered in Auschwitz)
Jonas de Vries (born 1877, murdered in Auschwitz)
Max Spanier (born 1878, murdered in Theresienstadt on 24-12-1944)
Ludwig Lehmann de Vries (born 1903, murdered in Warschau)
Adele Spanier (born 1881, survived Theresienstadt)

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.
