Stumbling Stones Harkortstraße 3

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Artur Neumann (born 1923, murdered in Zamosc)
Eduard Herrmann (born 1874, drowned during escape on 25-11-1940)
Ernst Neumann (born 1879, murdered in Zamosc)
Hedwig Neumann (born 1892, murdered in Zamosc)
Hirsch Herrmann (born 1872, suicide on 24-6-1942)
Ida Herrmann (born 1876, suicide on 24-6-1942)

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.
