Stumbling Stones Emil-Wolff-Straße 15

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adele Krebs (born 1895, murdered in Theresienstadt on 25-4-1943)
Adolf Krebs (born 1900, escaped)
Betty Krebs (born 1905, murdered in Auschwitz)
Levi Krebs (born 1859, escaped)
Ruth Krebs (born 1931, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
