Stumbling Stones Paulinenstraße 5

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Berty Goldschmidt (born 1901, murdered)
Martin Goldschmidt (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz)
Hedwig Löwenthal (born 1883, murdered in Riga)
Lina Sternheim (born 1871, murdered in Theresienstadt on 25-9-1943)

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.
