Stumbling Stones Sierichstraße 66

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hanne Mertens (born 1909, executed in Neuengamme on 22-4-1945)
Anita Ledermann (born 1921, murdered in Auschwitz)
Leah May Ledermann (born 1895, murdered in Auschwitz)
Margarita Ledermann (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz)
Herbert Ledermann (born 1890, 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.
