Stumbling Stones Sierichstraße 153

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Leo Schneeroff (born 1894, murdered in Lodz)
Edith Schneeroff (born 1895, murdered in Chelmno on 15-9-1942)
Emma Guttmann (born 1873, murdered in Treblinka)
Lucian Luca (born 1889, murdered in Chelmo on 10-6-1943)
Rudolf Luca (born 1919, faith unknown)
Else Luca (born 1894, faith unknown)
Emil Mirabeau (born 1872, suicide on 15-7-1942)

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.
