Stumbling Stones Mohrenstraße 1a

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Selma Weiß (born 1884, murdered in Riga)
Julius Weiß (born 1881, murdered in Riga)
Jenny Frank (born 1868, murdered in Theresienstadt on 18-4-1943)
Max Frank (born 1865, died on 8-12-1938)

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.
