Stumbling Stones Markt 9

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Louis Heilbrunn (born 1868, unvoluntarily moved to Cologne, died 9 November 1939)
Erna Blitz (born 1907, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)
Rosa Heilbrunn (born 1875, murdered in Lodz)
Ira(?) Heilbrunn, (born 1904, fled to USA in 1939)

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.
