Stumbling Stones Paderborner Straße 31

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alfred Examus (born 1907, murdered in Buchenwald in 1945)
Amalie Herz (born 1882, murdered in Auschwitz)
Erna Examus (born 1898, murdered in Majdanek in 1945)
Otto Herz (born 1877, murdered in Theresienstadt on 31-10-1943)

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.
