Stumbling Stones Mittelstraße 20

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Edith Seligmann (born 1935, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Frieda Seligmann (born 1899, murdered in Sobibor)
Julius Seligmann (born 1897, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Max Seligmann (born 1901, murdered in Minsk in 1942)
Paula Seligmann (born 1904, murdered in Sobibor)
Selma Seligmann (born 1898, murdered in Minsk in 1942)

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.
