Stumbling Stones Karolinenstraße 27-28

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Gustav Spiegel (born 1896, murdered in Minsk)
Rosalie Spiegel (born 1899, murdered in Minsk)
Rita Spiegel (born 1929, murdered in Minsk)
Marga Spiegel (born 1931, murdered in Minsk)

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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Hamburg.
