Stumbling Stones Plätzer Weg 10

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Sophie Cohn (born 1890, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Leon Cohn (born 1942, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Alfred Cohn (born 1925, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
David Cohn (born 1888, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Max Cohn (born 1931, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Egon Cohn (born 1926, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Benno Cohn (born 1928, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Frieda Cohn (born 1933, murdered in Minsk in 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.
