Stumbling Stones Mittelstraße 41

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Albert Cahn (born 1881) deported 1942 and murdered at Majodanek Lublin
Julius Cahn (born 1881) deported 1942 and murdered at Auschwitz.
Paulina Walder (born 1887) 1941 deported and murdered at Riga
Ida Kahn (born 1890) 1941 deported and murdered at Lotz/Litzmannstadt

The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were 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.
