Stumbling Stones Kampstraße 27

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Eugen Leeser (born 1883, murdered in Buchenwald on 20-11-1938)
Elisabeth Leeser (born 1891, murdered in Stutthof)
Dr. Max Meyer (born 1885, murdered in Theresienstadt in 1944)
Elfriede Meyer (born 1896, murdered in Auschwitz)
Emma Friederike Meier (born 1885, faith unknown)
Frieda Meier (born 1881, faith unknown)

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.
