Stumbling Stones Agathenstraße 3

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Bela Meier (born 1940, murdered in Minsk)
Margarete Conu (born 1878, murdered in Lodz)
Herbert Frank (born 1889, murdered in Minsk)
Frieda Frank (born 1911, murdered in Minsk)
Henry Meier (born 1915, 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.
