Stumbling Stones Ditzroder Weg 12

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alexander Freiwald (born 1871, murdered in Auschwitz)
Alexander Freiwald (born 1904, murdered in Auschwitz)
Elise Freiwald (born 1899, murdered in Auschwitz on 24-11-1943)
Elise Freiwald (born 1875, murdered in Auschwitz)
Luise Freiwald (born 1914, murdered in Auschwitz)
Richard Freiwald (born 1908, murdered in Mittelbau-Dora on 10-3-1945)

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.
