Stumbling Stones Mindener Straße 21

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dagmar Hertz (born 1929, murdered in Auschwitz)
Erich Hertz (born 1921, murdered in Riga)
Grete Hertz (born 1897, murdered in Auschwitz)
Hanni Hertz (born 1931, murdered in Auschwitz)
Mariann Block (born 1868, murdered in Theresienstadt on 2-1-1943)
Siegbert Hertz (born 1931, murdered in Auschwitz)
Therese Jacob (born 1889, murdered in Riga)
Viktor Hertz (born 1893, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
