Stumbling Stones Breite Straße 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adolf Milian Binder (born 1920, murdered in Paderborn)
Esther Malke Binder (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz on 31-12-1943)
David Jakob Binder (born 1879, died after improsinment on 14-1-1939)
Hedwig Binder (born 1881, murdered in Belzec)

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.
