Stumbling Stones Poststraße 37

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Armin Epstein (born 1930, murdered in Sobibor)
Elsa Borg (born 1889, murdered)
Else Epstein (born 1892, murdered in Sobibor)
Gustav Borg (born 1887, murdered)
Henriette Borg (born 1851, murdered in Sobibor)
Ruth Borg (born 1920, faith unknown)
Schlomo Benjamin Epstein (born 1879, murdered in Sobibor)

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.
