Stumbling Stones Alte Poststraße 16

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Fanny Hausmann (born 1899, murdered in Auschwitz on 23-1-1943)
Mathilde Hochmann (born 1884, murdered in Zamosc)
Saul Hausmann (born 1886, murdered in Auschwitz on 23-1-1943)
Siegmund Hochmann (born 1883, murdered in Zamosc)

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.
