Stumbling Stones Husumer Straße 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Moric Solymos (born 1882, murdered in Minsk)
Bertha Solymos (born 1886, murdered in Minsk)
Margarethe Reyersbach (born 1889, murdered in Chelmno in May 1942)

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.
