Stumbling Stones Lessingstraße 33

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Nina Rusanowskaja (born 1937, murdered on 13-12-1943)
Boris Andrejzew (born 1941, murdered on 7-1-1944)
Olga Rusanowskaja (born 1941, murdered on 11-12-1943)
Anatoli Trawkin (born 1940, murdered on 6-12-1943)
Ljuba Aljachnowitschewa (born 1941, murdered on 18-12-1943)
Nina Ljunkowa (born 1938, murdered on 7-1-1944)

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.
