Stumbling Stones Grummetswiese 12

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Betti Blumenthal (born 1928, murdered in Minsk)
Eduard Blumenthal (born 1887, murdered in Minsk)
Elfriede Blumenthal (born 1930, murdered in Minsk)
Meta Blumenthal (born 1890, murdered in Minsk)

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.
