Stumbling Stones Papenhuder Straße 53

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Ernst Valentin Burchard (born 1891, murdered in Minsk)
Olga Burchard (born 1894, murdered in Minsk)
Gabriele Olga Burchard (born 1923, murdered in Minsk)
Marianne Lilly Burchard (born 1928, 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.
