Stumbling Stones Kampstraße 34

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Johanna Simon (born 1874, murdered in Warschau)
Max Simon (born 1880, murdered in Buchenwald on 15-12-1938)
Alfons Simon (born 1908, murdered in Warschau)

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.
