Stumbling Stones Eppendorfer Baum 43

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Fritz Redlich (born 1887, murdered in Auschwitz on 11-2-1944)
Thekla Redlich (born 1897, murdered in Auschwitz on 11-2-1944)
Gerd Peter Martin Redlich (born 1922, murdered in Mauthausen on 13-9-1941)
Günther Redlich (born 1923, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-6-1944)

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.
