Stumbling Stones Ederstraße 19

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erich Wolff (born 1869, died on 4-11-1939)
Hermine Aronstein (born 1858, murdered in Theresienstadt on 6-5-1943)
Ilse Wolff (born 1904, escaped)
Irma Wolff (born 1882, murdered in Auschwitz)
Ruth Wolff (born 1908, escaped)

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.
