Stumbling Stones Johannesstraße 2

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Fränze Mathias (born 1897, murdered in Treblinka in 1942)
Hans Alfred Mathias (geb 1923, Childrenstransport to England in 1939)
Siegfried Mathias (born 1889, murdered in Treblinka in 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.
